Abstract
A method for numerical calculation related to fluids which is efficient and less liable to cause numerical diffusion and does not rely upon the functional form of an equation of state and hence can be used as a generalized numerical calculation method. A flux is divided into an advection part, a pressure-dependent part, and a dissipation part, according to physical properties thereof, to calculate a one-dimensional basic equation. A time evolution is executed on the advection part and the pressure-dependent part using an upwind difference type leap-frog difference method and a central difference type leap-frog difference method, respectively.
