Abstract

We reformulate the Osher Riemann solver by, first, adopting the canonical path in phase space, and then performing numerical integration of a matrix. We compare the reformulated scheme of this chapter with the original Osher scheme on a series of test problems for the one-dimensional Euler equations for ideal gases, concluding that the present solver is simpler, more robust, more accurate and can be applied to any hyperbolic system.
