Numerical solution of a PDE system describing a catalytic converter

• Numerical approximations are studied for a large hyperbolic system coupled to a parabolic equation and a system of algebraic equations. The equations, which all are nonlinear, describe nonviscous compressible one-dimensional gas flow in a catalytic converter. Chemical reactions within the gas are included in the model. Well-posedness of the partial differential equations is analyzed together with stability of the numerical models. In particular an investigation is made of the effect of numerical dissipation and different boundary conditions. Numerical results are presented.
