abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">In this paper, a new sharp-interface approach to simulate compressible
multiphase flows is proposed. The new scheme consists of a high order WENO finite volume scheme for solving the Euler equations coupled with a high order path-conservative
discontinuous Galerkin finite element scheme to evolve an indicator function
that tracks the material interface. At the interface our method applies ghost cells
to compute the numerical flux, as the ghost fluid method. However, unlike the original
ghost fluid scheme of Fedkiw et al. [15], the state of the ghost fluid is derived
from an approximate-state Riemann solver, similar to the approach proposed in [25],
but based on a much simpler formulation. Our formulation leads only to one single
scalar nonlinear algebraic equation that has to be solved at the interface, instead of
the system used in [25]. Away from the interface, we use the new general Osher-type
flux recently proposed by Dumbser and Toro [13], which is a simple but complete Riemann
solver, applicable to general hyperbolic conservation laws. The time integration
is performed using a fully-discrete one-step scheme, based on the approaches recently
proposed in [5, 7]. This allows us to evolve the system also with time-accurate local
time stepping. Due to the sub-cell resolution and the subsequent more restrictive
time-step constraint of the DG scheme, a local evolution for the indicator function is
applied, which is matched with the finite volume scheme for the solution of the Euler
equations that runs with a larger time step. The use of a locally optimal time step
avoids the introduction of excessive numerical diffusion in the finite volume scheme.
Two different fluids have been used, namely an ideal gas and a weakly compressible
fluid modeled by the Tait equation. Several tests have been computed to assess the
accuracy and the performance of the new high order scheme. A verification of our
algorithm has been carefully carried out using exact solutions as well as a comparison
with other numerical reference solutions. The material interface is resolved sharply
and accurately without spurious oscillations in the pressure field.</p>},
