Abstract
Godunov’s method, and higher order variations of the method to be discussed later, require the solution of Riemann problems at every cell boundary in each time step. Although in theory these Riemann problems can be solved, in practice doing so is expensive, and typically requires some iteration for nonlinear equations.
