Abstract: A cell-centered scheme is constructed for two-dimensional gas dynamics equations in Lagrangian coordinates on rectangular grids. Spacial discretizations are accomplished by control volume discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin method and temporal discretization is accomplished by second order total variation diminishing Runge-Kutta method. A limiter is used to maintain stability and non-oscillatory property of Runge-Kutta control volume (RKCV) method. The method preserves local conservation of physical variables. Compared with Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) method, computational formula of RKCV method is simpler since it contains no volume quadrature in RKDG method. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate reliability and efficiency of the algorithm.
