Аннотация:The system of linear acoustic equations is hyperbolic. It describes the process of
acoustic wave propagation in deformable media. An important property of the schemes used for
the numerical solution is their high approximation order. This property allows one to simulate the
perturbation propagation process over sufficiently large distances. Another important property is
schemes’ monotonicity, which prevents the appearance of non-physical oscillations in the solution.
In this paper, we present linear quasi-monotone and hybrid grid-characteristic schemes for a linear
transport equation and a system of one-dimensional linear acoustic equations. They are constructed
by a method of analysis in the space of unknown coefficients proposed by A.S. Kholodov based on
the grid-characteristic monotonicity criterion. Wide spatial stencils with five to seven computational
grid nodes are considered. Reflection of a longitudinal wave with a sharp front from the interface
between media with different parameters is used as a test to compare the obtained numerical
solutions.
