This means equivalently that $|u_{\alpha,i}| + |v_{\alpha,i}| + \sqrt{2gh_i} \le v_m$. We consider a CFL condition strictly less than one,
where $\sigma_i = \Delta t^n \sum_{j \in K_i} L_{i,j} / |C_i|$, and $\beta$ is a given constant. Then the following proposition holds.
Proposition 5.1 Under the CFL condition (101), the scheme (95)-(96) verifies the following properties.
(i) The macroscopic scheme derived from (95)-(96) using (90) is a consistent discretization of the layer-averaged Euler system (18)-(19).
(ii) The kinetic function remains nonnegative i.e.
(iii) The scheme (95)-(96) is kinetic well balanced i.e. at rest
Proof of prop. 5.1 (i) Since the Boltzmann type equations (66) are almost linear transport equations with source terms, the discrete kinetic scheme (95)-(96) is clearly a consistent discretization of (66). And therefore using the kinetic interpretation given in prop. 4.1, the macroscopic scheme obtained from (95)-(96) using (90) is a consistent discretization of the layer-averaged Euler system (18)-(19).
(ii) In (95)-(96) we have
and the HR (94) ensures $M_{\alpha,i}^* \le M_{\alpha,i}$, $\forall (\xi, \gamma) \in \mathbb{R}^2$, $\forall \alpha$ leading to
But $\zeta_{i,j} 1_{\zeta_{i,j} \ge 0} \le \max{|\xi|, |\gamma|}$, $\theta_{\alpha,i,j} 1_{\theta_{\alpha,i,j} \ge 0} \le \max{|\xi - u_{\alpha,i}|, |\gamma - v_{\alpha,i}|}$ and therefore
where (100),(101) have been used, proving $f_{\alpha,i}^{n+1/2-} \ge 0$ for any $\xi \in \mathbb{R}$ and any $\alpha \in {1, \dots, N}$. Now using the results of lemma 5.1, it ensures that $f_{\alpha,i}^{n+1-}$ defined by (96) satisfies $f_{\alpha,i}^{n+1-} \ge 0$ for any $(\xi, \gamma) \in \mathbb{R}^2$ and any $\alpha \in {1, \dots, N}$, proving (ii).
(iii) Considering the situation at rest i.e. $u_{\alpha,i} = v_{\alpha,i} = 0$, $\forall \alpha, i$ and $h_i + z_{b,i} = h_j + z_{b,j}$, $\forall i, j$ we have
From (95)-(96), this gives (102). ■
