Herethe author first discussesthe formulation of nonoscillatory schemes for scalar conservation laws in one or more space dimensions, and illustrates the construction of schemes that yield second order accuracy in the bulk of the flow but are locally limited to first order accuracy at extrema. In the following chapters, hediscussesthe formulation of finite volume schemes for systems of equations such as the Euler equations of gas dynamics, and analyzesthe construction of interface flux formulas with favorable properties such as sharp resolution of discontinuities and assurance of positivity of the pressure and density. The combination of these two ingredients leads to a variety of schemes that have proved successful in practice.
