Numerical Approximations of
Hyperbolic Systems
with Source Terms and Applications
Scientific Purpose
Hyperbolic systems are involved in the description of many physical problems. In order to obtain relevant predictions, the models often include different type of source terms, stiff or not. These terms turn out to be crucial since they modify in some sense the nature of the system under consideration. During years, these terms were discretized by means of basic methods that were not able to provide suitable approximations in all regimes. In addition, the robustness and the stability of the considered methods were often lost. During the last ten years, the numerical approximations of source terms have evolved from basic discrete forms to very sophisticated ones. As a consequence, the state-of-the-art approximations of source terms ensure accurate simulations and exhibit essential robustness and stability properties. The aim of the present conference is to propose an overview of the recent evolutions in the approximation of hyperbolic systems with source terms and to discuss the new challenges concerning this important topic. A special emphasis will be put on the modelling and simulation of gravity driven geophysical flows. This is a domain of high scientific and practical interest where source terms are ubiquitous.
