A new fifth-order alternative finite difference multi-resolution WENO scheme for solving compressible flow

摘要

A new fifth-order alternative finite difference multi-resolution weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme is designed to solve the hyperbolic conservation laws in this paper. With the application of the original finite difference multi-resolution WENO schemes (Zhu and Shu, 2018; Zhu and Shu, 2020), a series of unequal-sized central spatial stencils are adopted to perform the WENO procedures, but the difference is that the methodology adopted in this paper is directly based on the point values of the solution rather than on the flux values. The proposed new multi-resolution WENO scheme can inherit many advantages of the original high order schemes, such as the arbitrary choice of the linear weights, the maintenance of the essentially non-oscillatory property in the vicinity of strong discontinuities, the smaller L-1 and L-infinity truncation errors than that of the same order classical WENOJS schemes (Balsara et al., 2016; Jiang and Shu, 1996) in smooth regions, and better convergence properties of the residue when solving some steady-state problems. Compared with the original multi-resolution WENO schemes, the presented WENO scheme also has some advantages. Firstly, an arbitrary monotone flux can be used in this framework, while the original method is only suitable for smooth flux splitting technique. Secondly, it has smaller L-1 and L-infinity truncation errors than that of the original same order multi-resolution WENO scheme. And finally, it avoids some time-consuming intermediate processes in the original multi-resolution WENO reconstruction procedures, thus resulting in less calculation time under the same conditions. Some inviscid and viscous numerical examples are provided to verify the superior performance of the new fifth-order alternative finite difference multi-resolution WENO scheme. (C) 2021 ElsevierB.V.
