Description
Systems of conservation laws modelling physical and engineering systems are equipped with an entropy formulation that provides stability estimates and selects the physically meaningful. We design arbitrarily high-order entropy stable schemes for a general system of conservation laws by combining entropy conservative fluxes with high-order numerical diffusion operators based on the ENO (essentially non-oscillatory) reconstruction. The schemes are applied to the shallow water equations and the Euler equations of gas dynamics. Ongoing work focuses on extension these high-order entropy stable schemes to unstructured grids and to the MHD equations.
