Description
A class of cell centered Finite Volume schemes has been introduced to discretize the equations of
Lagrangian hydrodynamics on moving mesh [4]. In this framework, the numerical fluxes are evaluated
by means of an approximate Riemann solver, based at the nodes of the mesh, which provides the
nodal velocity required to move the mesh in a compatible manner. In this presentation, we describe
the generalization of this type of discretization to hyperbolic systems of conservation laws written in
Eulerian representation. The evaluation of the numerical fluxes relies on an approximate Riemann
solver located at the mesh nodes. The construction of this nodal solver uses the Lagrange-to-Euler
transformation introduced by Gallice [3] and revisited in [1,2] to build positive and entropic Eulerian
Riemann solvers from their Lagrangian counterparts. The application of this formalism to the case of
gas dynamics provides a positive and entropic finite volume scheme under an explicit condition on the
time step. In this work we extend this scheme to handle source terms, in particular for the Shallow
Water system of equations. We show how to render the scheme well-balanced in 1D and 2D. The
numerical assessment of this scheme by means of representative test cases will be presented for the first
and second orders. In particular the good behavior is illustrated by the absence of the typical numerical
pathology of traditional Finite Volume approaches for such system of PDEs.
