%0 Journal Article %T A Uniform Algorithm for All-Speed Shock-Capturing Schemes %A Xue-song Li %J Physics %D 2012 %I arXiv %R 10.1080/10618562.2014.936315 %X There are many ideas for developing shock-capturing schemes and their extension for all-speed flow. The representatives of them are Roe, HLL and AUSM families. In this paper, a uniform algorithm is proposed, which expresses three families in the same framework. The algorithm has explicit physical meaning, provides a new angel of understanding and comparing the mechanism of schemes, and may play a great role in the further research. As an example of applying the uniform algorithm, the low-Mach number behaviour of the schemes is analyzed. Then, a very clear and simple explanation is given based on the wall boundary, and a concise rule is proposed to judge whether a scheme has satisfied low-Mach number behaviour. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1201.1553v2
