Roe (1981):
- Scheme (essentially) as above.
- With clever choice of matrix
,
so that the approximate Riemann solver becomes exact for
simple waves (only one shock or only one contact discontinuity).
- Needs entropy fix.
- The fluctuations are taken from the primitive rather than the conservative variables.
HLLE (1983, 1988):
- Uses only the two waves with largest and smallest characteristic velocity.
- The region in between is approximated by a single state.
- The scheme is simple, more robust but also more dissipative than Roe's scheme.
