Estimating the geometric error of finite volume schemes for conservation laws on surfaces for generic numerical flux functions

Abstract

This contribution is concerned with finite volume schemes approximating scalar hyperbolic conservation laws on evolving hypersurfaces of ℝ3. Theoretical schemes assuming knowledge of all geometric quantities are compared to (practical) schemes defined on moving polyhedra approximating the surface. For the former schemes error estimates have already been proven, but the implementation of such schemes is not feasible for complex geometries. The latter schemes, in contrast, only require (easily) computable geometric quantities and are thus more useful for practical computations. In (Giesselmann and Müller Number. Math. 2014, doi:10.1007/s00211-014-0621-5) an estimate for the difference between solutions of both classes of schemes is proven. This estimate relies on an estimate for the geometric error of the numerical fluxes, which will be investigated in more detail in this contribution.
