A simple numerical scheme for the 2D shallow-water system

Abstract: This paper presents a simple numerical scheme for the two dimensional Shallow-Water Equations (SWEs). Inspired by the study of numerical approximation of the one dimensional SWEs Audusse et al. (2015), this paper extends the problem from 1D to 2D with the simplicity of application preserves. The new scheme is implemented into the code TELEMAC-2D [tel2d, 2014] and several tests are made to verify the scheme ability under an equilibrium state at rest and different types of flow regime (i.e., fluvial regime, transcritical flow from fluvial to torrential regime, transcritical flow with a hydraulic jump). The sensitivity analysis is conducted to exam the scheme convergence.
