Abstract

This paper describes a method for tracking contact discontinuities and material interfaces that arise in the solution of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. Numerical results are presented to show that the fronts are resolved to within a mesh interval and smooth portions of the solution are computed to within the accuracy of the underlying numerical scheme.
