Flux-vector splitting for the Euler equations for real gases (Q1119115)

The flux-vector splitting for the Euler equations of compressible flow with the ideal-gas law used as equation of state was derived by \textit{B. van Leer} [in: Eighth intern. conf. on num. methods in fluid dynamics. (ed. by E. Krause), Lecture Notes in Physics 170 (1982; Zbl 0543.76001); p. 507] to approximate the hyperbolic system of conservation laws with so-called upwind differences. In this note we present the extension of the flux-vector splitting for the Euler equations of compressible flow with an arbitrary equation of state.
