In shallow water equations simulations the positivity of water height is a fundamental property to preserve. We use a linearly implicit modified Patankar Deferred Correction method to guarantee its positivity without any restriction on the time step. The rest of the discretization is obtained with a classical WENO5 finite volume method. Download paper

Testing the order of accuracy of (very) high order methods for shallow water (and Euler) equations is a delicate operation and the test cases are the crucial starting point of this operation. We provide a short derivation of vortex-like analytical solutions in 2 dimensions for the shallow water equations (and, hence, Euler equations) that can be used to test the order of accuracy of numerical methods. These solutions have different smoothness in their derivatives (up to arbitrary derivatives) and can be used accordingly to the order of accuracy of the scheme to test. Download paper

We study various properties for a class of positivity-preserving nonlinear schemes (Patankar-type schemes) and we discover two types of issues: oscillations around stady states when the timestep is too large and spurious steady states where some methods get stuck. Download paper
