The enlarged hyperbolic system is linearly degenerate and is therefore suitable to build an efficient approximate Riemann solver. From a theoretical point of view, the convergence of solutions to the enlarged system towards solutions to the Euler equations is proved for local in time smooth solutions. We also show that arbitrarily large shock waves for the Euler equations admit smooth shock profiles for the enlarged relaxation system. In the end, we illustrate these results of convergence by proposing a numerical procedure to solve the enlarged hyperbolic system. We test it on various cases.Lire moins >
