A SEMI-IMPLICIT FINITE VOLUME SCHEME FOR DISSIPATIVE MEASURE-VALUED SOLUTIONS TO THE BAROTROPIC EULER SYSTEM

A semi-implicit in time, entropy stable finite volume scheme for the compressible barotropic Euler system is designed and analyzed and its weak convergence to a dissipative measure-valued (DMV) solution [Feireisl et al., Calc. Var. Part. Differ. Equ. 55 (2016) 141] of the Euler system is shown. The entropy stability is achieved by introducing a shifted velocity in the convective fluxes of the mass and momentum balances, provided some CFL-like condition is satisfied to ensure stability. A consistency analysis is performed in the spirit of the Lax's equivalence theorem under some physically reasonable boundedness assumptions. The concept of kappa-convergence [Feireisl et al., IMA J. Numer. Anal. 40 (2020) 2227-2255] is used in order to obtain some strong convergence results, which are then illustrated via rigorous numerical case studies. The convergence of the scheme to a DMV solution, a weak solution and a strong solution of the Euler system using the weak-strong uniqueness principle and relative entropy are presented.
