Provably fully discrete energy-stable and asymptotic-preserving scheme for barotropic Euler equations

Abstract

We develop structure-preserving finite volume schemes for the barotropic Euler equations in the low Mach number regime. Our primary focus lies in ensuring both the asymptotic-preserving (AP) property and the discrete entropy stability. We construct an implicit-explicit (IMEX) method with suitable acoustic/advection splitting including implicit numerical diffusion that is independent of the Mach number. We prove the positivity of density, the entropy stability, and the asymptotic consistency of the fully discrete numerical method rigorously. Numerical experiments for benchmark problems validate the structure-preserving properties of the proposed method.
