چکیده
Abstract In this paper, we propose a new type of weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) limiter, which belongs to the class of Hermite WENO (HWENO) limiters, for the RungeKutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) methods solving hyperbolic conservation laws. This new HWENO limiter is a modification of the simple WENO limiter proposed recently by Zhong and Shu [32]. Both limiters use information of the DG solutions only from the target cell and its immediate neighboring cells, thus maintaining the original compactness of the DG scheme. The goal of both limiters is to obtain high order accuracy and non-oscillatory properties simultaneously. The main novelty of the new HWENO limiter in this paper is to reconstruct the polynomial on the target cell in a least square fashion while the simple WENO limiter [32] is to use the entire polynomial of the original DG solutions in the neighboring cells with an addition of a constant for conservation. This modification improves the robustness in the computation of problems with strong shocks or contact discontinuities, without changing the compact stencil of the DG scheme. Numerical results for both one and two dimensional equations including Euler equations of compressible gas dynamics are provided to illustrate the viability of this modified limiter.

Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method with a simple and compact Hermite WENO limiter on unstructured meshes
In this paper we generalize a new type of compact Hermite weighted essentially nonoscillatory (HWENO) limiter for the Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) methods, which were recently developed in [34] for structured meshes, to two dimensional unstructured triangular meshes.

In this paper, a class of fifth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes based on Hermite polynomials, termed HWENO (Hermite WENO) schemes, for solving one-dimensional nonlinear hyperbolic conservation law systems is presented. The construction of HWENO schemes is based on a finite volume formulation, Hermite interpolation, and nonlinearly stable Runge–Kutta methods. The idea o...

Abstract. This paper develops Runge-Kutta PK-based central discontinuous Galerkin (CDG) methods with WENO limiter to the oneand two-dimensional special relativistic hydrodynamical (RHD) equations, K = 1,2,3. Different from the non-central DG methods, the Runge-Kutta CDG methods have to find two approximate solutions defined on mutually dual meshes. For each mesh, the CDG approximate solutions o...
