Abstract

We propose a sub-cell procedure for the stabilization of cell-centered Lagrangian numerical schemes for the computation of compressible gas dynamics. This procedure is intended to stabilize the mesh, indeed cell-centered schemes are already stable for shocks since they are based on a Riemann solver technology. In this work we focus on the basic principles and on the compatibility with the entropy. We show that a sub-cell decomposition into four triangles is always mesh-stable provided the scheme is entropy increasing. Numerical examples serve as illustration. We also discuss the consistency issue.
