Abstract: Riemann problems are constructed at interface in front tracking (FT) method for multi-fluid flows to study application of shock limiter.In gas-gas and gas-water problems,shock limiter parameter is selected about 0.3 considering average conservation error,L1 error and strength of the shock.It is indicated that in order to obtain better solutions the back shock wave should be selected as an original state for Riemann problems at the interface as a shock is close to a material interface.

Key words: compressible multi-fluid flow, front-tracking method, Riemann problem, limiter
