Detailed Description

Variation of Summation solver, evolving specific entropy (s) rather than specific energy (u), see Springel & Hernquist (2002). The advantage of the method is that in the absense of dissipation, there is no need to evolve the entropy in time and we need to solve one equation less. Main disadvantage is that the method only works for ideal gas EoS, as other EoS cannot be written (or it is difficult to write them) in form P(rho, s). Generally does not converse energy!
