Abstract
We present a well-balanced scheme for the Euler equations with gravitation. The scheme is capable of maintaining exactly (up to machine precision) a discrete hydrostatic equilibrium without any assumption on a thermodynamic variable such as specific entropy or temperature. The well-balanced scheme is based on a local hydrostatic pressure reconstruction. Moreover, it is computationally efficient and can be incorporated into any existing algorithm in a straightforward manner. The presented scheme improves over standard ones especially when flows close to a hydrostatic equilibrium have to be simulated. The performance of the well-balanced scheme is demonstrated on an astrophysically relevant application: a toy model for core-collapse supernovae. Show more
