Simulations of Shallow Water Equations by Finite Difference WENO Schemes with Multilevel Time Discretization

摘要

In this paper we study a class of multilevel high order time discretization procedures for the finite difference weighted essential non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes to solve the one-dimensional and two-dimensional shallow water equations with source terms.Multilevel time discretization methods can make full use of computed information by WENO spatial discretization and save CPU cost by holding the former computational values.Extensive simulations are performed,which indicate that,the finite difference WENO schemes with multilevel time discretization can achieve higher accuracy,and are more cost effective than WENO scheme with Runge-Kutta time discretization,while still maintaining nonoscillatory properties.
