Well-balanced computations of weak local residuals for the shallow water equations

Abstract

The one-dimensional shallow water equations describe mass conservation and momentum conservation. We propose a well-balanced numerical technique for computing weak local residuals of the momentum equation. We compare the performance of weak local residuals of the momentum equation to those of the mass equation. All weak local residuals behave similarly. References
