Notes:
Operator splitting is necessary in order to apply Harten's second-order accurate, total-variation-diminishing (TVD) method for shock capturing to higher-dimensional problems. Here two such splittings of the Euler equations are considered. By analytical means, one splitting is shown to be inconsistent; the other, scheme satisfies a fundamental necessary condition for consistency. Numerical results from a typical blast wave calculation employing this scheme are exhibited.
