A Lax-Wendroff type theorem for unstructured quasi-uniform grids
نویسنده
چکیده
A well-known theorem of Lax and Wendroff states that if the sequence of approximate solutions to a system of hyperbolic conservation laws generated by a conservative consistent numerical scheme converges boundedly a.e. as the mesh parameter goes to zero, then the limit is a weak solution of the system. Moreover, if the scheme satisfies a discrete entropy inequality as well, the limit is an entropy solution. The original theorem applies to uniform Cartesian grids; this article presents a generalization for quasiuniform grids (with Lipschitz-boundary cells) uniformly continuous inhomogeneous numerical fluxes and nonlinear inhomogeneous sources. The added generality allows a discussion of novel applications like local time stepping, grids with moving vertices and conservative remapping. A counterexample demonstrates that the theorem is not valid for arbitrary non-quasiuniform grids.

High-order finite volume schemes on unstructured grids using moving least-squares reconstruction. Application to shallow water dynamics
This paper introduces the use of moving least-squares (MLS) approximations for the development of high-order finite volume discretizations on unstructured grids. The field variables and their successive derivatives can be accurately reconstructed using this mesh-free technique in a general nodal arrangement. The methodology proposed is used in the construction of two numerical schemes for the s...
متن کاملWater hammer simulation by explicit central finite difference methods in staggered grids
Four explicit finite difference schemes, including Lax-Friedrichs, Nessyahu-Tadmor, Lax-Wendroff and Lax-Wendroff with a nonlinear filter are applied to solve water hammer equations. The schemes solve the equations in a reservoir-pipe-valve with an instantaneous and gradual closure of the valve boundary. The computational results are compared with those of the method of characteristics (MOC), a...
متن کاملAn inverse Lax-Wendroff method for boundary conditions applied to Boltzmann type models
In this paper we present a new algorithm based on a Cartesian mesh for the numerical approximation of kinetic models on complex geometry boundary. Due to the high dimensional property, numerical algorithms based on unstructured meshes for a complex geometry are not appropriate. Here we propose to develop an inverse Lax-Wendroff procedure, which was recently introduced for conservation laws [21]...
متن کاملNumerical solution of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws using exponential splines
Previous theoretical (McCartin 1989a) and computational (McCartin 1989b) results on exponential splines are herein applied to provide approximate solutions of high order accuracy to nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. The automatic selection of certain "tension" parameters associated with the exponential spline allows the sharp resolution of shocks and the suppression of any attendant oscil...
متن کاملOn the Stability of Friedrichs' Scheme and the Modified Lax-Wendroff Scheme*
Necessary and sufficient stability criteria for Friedrichs' scheme and the modified Lax-Wendroff scheme with smooth coefficients are derived by means of Kreiss' Matrix Theorem and the first Stability Theorem of Lax and Nirenberg. In this note we derive necessary and sufficient stability criteria for Friedrichs' scheme and the modified Lax-Wendroff scheme [8] for the hyperbolic system n (1) ". =...
