An asymptotic preserving, all-Mach-number, Godunov-type finite volume scheme is presented for the numerical solution of the compressible
Euler equations of gas dynamics. It is well known (S. Kleinerman and A. Majda, 1982) that the purely hyperbolic compressible Euler equations converge
to the mixed hyperbolic-elliptic incompressible Euler equations when the Mach number tends to zero. In this limit, the numerical schemes for the Euler
equations suffer from stiffness, loss of accuracy and stability problems. Here, a single time-scale and multiple space-scales asymptotic analysis (R. Klein,
1995) is used to split the Euler fluxes into stiff acoustic and non-stiff convective parts. A semi-implicit discretisation leads to a stable scheme which
is asymptotic preserving; i.e. it provides a consistent discretisation in both the compressible and the incompressible regimes. In the new scheme the mass
and momentum equations are solved explicitly, whereas the energy equation leads to an elliptic equation for the pressure which complies with the divergence
constraint on the velocity. The time-step is solely determined by the non-stiff convective fluxes and it is independent of the Mach number. The results of
some benchmark problems are presented, which validate the new scheme. Part of this work is joint with Sebastian Noelle, Maria Lukacova andClaus-Dieter Munz.
