Abstract
For various applications in fluid dynamics, it is assumed that the total temperature is constant. Therefore, the energy equation can be replaced by an algebraic relation. The resulting set of equations in the inviscid case is analyzed. It is shown that the system is strictly hyperbolic and well posed for the initial value problems. Boundary conditions are described such that the linearized system is well posed. The Hopscotch method is investigated and numerical results are presented
