Abstract
A van Leer-type numerical scheme for the model of a general fluid in a nozzle with variable cross section is presented. The model is nonconservative, making it hard for standard numerical schemes. Exact solutions of local Riemann problems are incorporated in the construction of this scheme. The scheme can work well in regions of resonance, where multiple waves are colliding. Numerical tests are conducted, where we compare the errors and orders of accuracy for approximating exact solutions between this scheme and a Godunov-type scheme. Results from numerical tests show that this van Leer-type scheme has a much better accuracy than the Godunov-type scheme.
