Numerical results are compared with those obtained by using the standard one-dimensional formulation associated with a well-balanced scheme, and also with numerical results provided by a multi-dimensional code. The comparison includes ducts with smooth or discontinuous cross sections. This new formulation is shown to be robust wrt to sudden and high cross-section variations, even when a total obstruction occurs, and to be accurate when compared with the reference solution. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-01239393/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01239393/file/AHMT.pdf %L hal-01239393 %U https://hal.science/hal-01239393 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ EC-MARSEILLE %~ I2M %~ I2M-2014- %~ EDF
