Divergence Constraint — Test Case

Comparison of several divergence cleaning methods by means of the 2D Riemann problem.

Displayed (from left to right) are the results without any correction of the divergence error, with the Powell source term stabilization approach, and the GLM Method developed by Munz et al.
