Abstract

In this paper we present a technique for constructing robust solvers for stiff algebraic source terms, such as those typically used for modelling relaxation processes in hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations describing two-phase flows, namely models of the Baer-Nunziato family. The method is based on an exponential integrator which employs an approximate linearised source term operator that is constructed in such a way that one can compute solutions to the linearised equations avoiding any delicate matrix inversion operations.
