A second-order compatible staggered Lagrangian hydrodynamics scheme using a cell-centered multidimensional approximate Riemann solver

We develop a general framework to derive and analyze staggered numerical schemes devoted to solve hydrodynamics equations in 2D. In this framework a cell-centered multi-dimensional approximate Riemann solver is used to build a form of artificial viscosity that leads to a conservative, compatible and thermodynamically consistent scheme. A second order extension in space and time for this scheme is proposed in this work and we prove on numerical examples the validity of this approach.
