This paper presents a Lagrangian cell-centered conservative gas dynamics scheme. The piecewise constant pressures of cells arising from the current time sub-cell densities and the current time isentropic speed of sound are introduced. Multipling the initial cell density by the initial sub-cell volumes obtains the sub-cell Lagrangian masses, and dividing the masses by the current time sub-cell volumes gets the current time sub- cell densities. By the current time piecewise constant pressures of cells, a scheme that conserves the momentum and total energy is constructed. The vertex velocities and the numerical fluxes through the cell interfaces are computed in a consistent manner due to an original solver located at the nodes. The numerical tests are presented, which are representative for compressible flows and demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of the Lagrangian cell-centered conservative scheme.
We extend the traditional kinetic scheme for ideal gases to the Euler equations with the equation of state for a multi-component stiffened gas. Based on a careful analysis of the oscillation mechanism of the traditional kinetic scheme across contact discontinuities, we propose a new non-oscillatory kinetic （NOK） scheme for multi-component stiffened gases. The basic idea in the construction is to use a flux splitting technique to construct numerical fluxes which do not depend on the concrete form of the equilibrium state. The new scheme can not only can avoid spurious oscillations of the pressure and velocity near a material interface which are observed in the traditional kinetic schemes such as the kinetic flux vector splitting （KFVS） and BGK schemes, but also can deal with the stiffened gas equation of state. Moreover, we also carry out a careful analysis on the consistency condition, truncation error and positivity of the NOK scheme. A number of 1D and 2D numerical tests are presented which demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the new scheme in the simulation of problems with smooth, weak and strong shock wave regions.
