An asymptotic-preserving scheme for Euler equations I: non-ideal gases

{We analyze a general Implicit-Explicit (IMEX) time discretization for the compressible Euler equations of gas dynamics, showing that they are asymptotic-preserving (AP) in the low Mach number limit. The analysis is carried out for a general equation of state (EOS). We consider both a single asymptotic length scale and two length scales. We then show that, when coupling these time discretizations with a Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) space discretization with appropriate fluxes, an all Mach number numerical method is obtained. A number of relevant benchmarks for ideal gases and their non-trivial extension to non-ideal EOS validate the performed analysis.
