The Riemann solutions of a deposition model are shown. A singular flux-function limit of the obtained Riemann solutions is considered. As a result, it is shown that the Riemann solutions of the deposition model just converge to the Riemann solutions of the limit system, the scalar conservation law with a linear flux function involving discontinuous coefficient. Especially, for some initial data, the two-shock Riemann solution of the deposition model tends to the delta-shock Riemann solution of the limit system; by contrast, for some initial data, the two-rarefaction-wave Riemann solution of the deposition model tends to the vacuum Riemann solution of the limit system. Some numerical results exhibiting the formation processes of delta-shocks and vacuum states are presented.

We study the interactions of delta shock waves and vacuum states for the system of conservation laws of mass, momentum, and energy in zero-pressure gas dynamics. The Riemann problems with initial data of three piecewise constant states are solved case by case, and four different configurations of Riemann solutions are constructed. Furthermore, the numerical simulations completely coinciding with theoretical analysis are shown.

We analyze the appearance of delta shock wave and vacuum state in the vanishing pressure limit of Riemann solutions to the non-isentropic generalized Chaplygin gas equations. As the pressure vanishes, the Riemann solution including two shock waves and possible one contact discontinuity converges to a delta shock wave solution. Both the densityρand the internal energyHsimultaneously present a Dirac delta singularity. And the Riemann solution involving two rarefaction waves and possible one contact discontinuity converges to a solution involving vacuum state of the transport equations.

This paper is devoted to the coupling problem of two scalar conservation laws through a fixed interface located for instance at x = 0. Each scalar conservation law is associated with its own (smooth) flux function and is posed on a half-space, namely x < 0 or x > 0. At interface x = 0 we impose a coupling condition whose objective is to enforce in a weak sense the continuity of a prescribed variable, which may differ from the conservative unknown (and the flux functions as well). We prove the existence of a solution to the coupled Riemann problem using a constructive approach. The latter allows in particular to highlight interesting features like non-uniqueness of both continuous and discontinuous (at interface x = 0) solutions. The behavior of some numerical scheme is also investigated.

We study here a model of conservative nonlinear conservation law with a flux function with discontinuous coefficients, namely the equation ut + (k(x)u(1 - u))x = 0. It is a particular entropy condition on the line of discontinuity of the coefficient k which ensures the uniqueness of the entropy solution. This condition is discussed and justified. On the other hand, we perform a numerical analysis of the problem. Two finite volume schemes, the Godunov scheme and the VFRoe-ncv scheme, are proposed to simulate the conservation law. They are compared with two finite volume methods classically used in an industrial context. Several tests confirm the good behavior of both new schemes, especially through the discontinuity of permeability k (whereas a loss of accuracy may be detected when industrial methods are performed). Moreover, a modified MUSCL method which accounts for stationary states is introduced.

We consider the asymptotic behavior of the solution of a forced scalar conservation law, where both the forcing and the initial data are periodic. We prove that there exists a steady state toward which the solution converges in the L1 norm, as t → ∞. We do not assume any smallness or smoothness of the initial data. The limit steady state can be discontinuous, as effect of resonance, and it can be identified when the potential of the forcing term has a unique global minimum, thanks to the conservation of mass. The flux is assumed to be strictly convex; the relevance of this assumption is justified by the construction of solutions with a lattice of periods for a flux with an inflection point.
