Abstract
We present here a Godunov-type scheme to simulate one-dimensional flows in a nozzle with variable cross-section. The method relies on the construction of a relaxation Riemann solver designed to handle all types of flow regimes, from subsonic to supersonic flows, as well as resonant transonic flows. Some computational results are also provided, in which this relaxation method is compared with the classical Rusanov scheme and a modified Rusanov scheme.
