We have developed a cell-centered Finite Volume discretization of the so-called Wilkins hypoelastic model written under Lagrangian formalism [1]. In this framework, standard infinitesimal elastoplasticity models are extended to the finite strain range by formulating constitutive law in terms of frame invariant stress rates. In spite of its simplici...

Instead of ensuring that fluxes across edges add up to zero, we split the edge in two halves and also associate different fluxes to each of its sides. This is possible due to non-standard Riemann solvers with free parameters. We then enforce conservation by making sure that the fluxes around a node sum up to zero, which fixes the value of the free...

We construct an unconventional divergence preserving discretization of updated Lagrangian ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) over simplicial grids. The cell-centered finite-volume (FV) method employed to discretize the conservation laws of volume, momentum, and total energy is rigorously the same as the one developed to simulate hyperelasticity equat...

It is well known that gas dynamics equations may develop singularities,i.e., shock waves, at a finite time. The related discontinuous solutions are thus sought under a weak form which corresponds to the integral form of the underlying conservation laws of mass, momentum and total energy. Weak solutions being not uniquely defined, the physically rel...
