contents Employing physically-consistent numerical methods is an important step towards attaining robust and accurate numerical simulations. When addressing compressible flows, in addition to preserving kinetic energy at a discrete level, as done in the incompressible case, additional properties are sought after, such as the ability to preserve the equilibrium of pressure that can be found at contact interfaces. This paper investigates the general conditions of the spatial numerical discretizations to achieve the pressure equilibrium preserving property (PEP). Schemes from the literature are analyzed in this respect, and procedures to impart the PEP property to existing discretizations are proposed. Additionally, new PEP numerical schemes are introduced through minor modifications of classical ones. Numerical tests confirmed the theory hereby presented and showed that the modifications, beyond the enforcement of the PEP property, have a generally positive impact on the performances of the original schemes.
