Abstract: Runge-Kutta control volume (RKCV) discontinuous finite element method for multi-medium fluid simulations is constructed. Linear and nonlinear Riemann solvers are used for numerical flux at fluid interfaces. The method preserves local conservation and high-resolution. Numerical results show that even with a linear Riemann solver the schemes works well. Comparisons with Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method show advantages of RKCV method.
