Abstract
In this paper we study numerically the approximation of the Cauchy problem for a scalar conservation law by using a mixed technique which combines the principles of finite volume and level sets methods to capture with high-order the entropy solution along discontinuities. The conservation law is approximated by a finite volume scheme of second order that prevents the increase of numerical diffusion on discontinuities by incorporating ghosts states on both sides of the shock curves, which are considered as a implicit curve that is computed via the method of level sets. We present some numerical examples with application of the hybrid method and illustrate the high order accuracy belong to shock curves.
