摘要
In this work, we propose a numerical method to handle discontinuous fluxes arising in transport-like equations. More precisely, we study hyperbolic PDEs with flux transmission conditions at interfaces between subdomains where coefficients are discontinuous. A dedicated finite volume scheme with a limited high order enhancement is adapted to treat the discontinuities arising at interfaces. The validation of the method is done on one-and two-dimensional toy problems for which exact solutions are available, allowing us to do a thorough convergence study. We then apply the method to a biological model focusing on complex cell dynamics that initially motivated this study and illustrates the full potentialities of the scheme.
