Preliminary results for the study of the godunov scheme applied to the linear wave equation with porosity at low mach number

Abstract

We introduce continuous tools to study the low Mach number behavior of the Godunov scheme applied to the linear wave equation with porosity on cartesian meshes. More precisely, we extend the Hodge decomposition to a weighted L2 space in the continuous case and we study the properties of the modified equation associated to this Godunov scheme. This allows to partly explain the inaccuracy of the Godunov scheme at low Mach number on cartesian meshes and to propose two corrections: a first one named low Mach and a second one named all Mach. These results are preliminary since it remains to prove them in the discrete case.
