Abstract: We consider a semi-implicit in time, entropy-stable finite volume scheme for the compressible barotropic Euler system. We analyse its weak convergence to a dissipative measure-valued (DMV) solution of the continuous equations. The entropy stability is achieved by introducing a shifted velocity in the convective fluxes of the mass and momentum balances, provided that some CFL-like condition is satisfied. A consistency analysis is performed in the spirit of Lax’s equivalence theorem under some physically reasonable boundedness assumptions. K-convergence is used to obtain some strong convergence results, which are then illustrated via rigorous numerical case studies. The convergence of the scheme to a DMV solution, a weak solution, and a strong solution of the Euler system using the weak-strong uniqueness principle and relative entropy is presented.
