Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations, cilt.41, sa.2, 2025 (SCI-Expanded)
In 1991 Ramshaw and Mesina proposed a novel synthesis of penalty methods and artificial compression methods. When the two were balanced they found the combination was 3–4 orders more accurate than either alone. This report begins developing a mathematical foundation addressing the reliability of their interesting method. We perform stability analysis, semi-discrete error analysis, and tests of the algorithm.
