Simulation of strong nonlinear waves with vectorial lattice Boltzmann schemes

We show that an hyperbolic system with a mathematical entropy can be discretized with vectorial lattice Boltzmann schemes with the methodology of kinetic representation of the dual entropy. We test this approach for the shallow water equations in one and two space dimensions. We obtain interesting results for a shock tube, reflection of a shock wave and unstationary two-dimensional propagation. This contribution shows the ability of vectorial lattice Boltzmann schemes to simulate strong nonlinear waves in unstationary situations.
