contents We consider the compressible Euler equations with potential temperature transport, a system widely used in atmospheric modelling to describe adiabatic, inviscid flows. In the low Mach number regime, the equations become stiff and pose significant numerical challenges. We develop an all-speed, semi-implicit finite volume scheme that is asymptotic preserving (AP) in the low Mach limit and strictly positivity preserving for density and potential temperature. The scheme ensures stability and accuracy across a broad range of Mach numbers, from fully compressible to nearly incompressible regimes. We rigorously establish consistency with both the compressible system and its incompressible, density-dependent limit. Numerical experiments confirm that the method robustly captures complex flow features while preserving the essential physical and mathematical structures of the model.
