The Upwind Differencing Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The flux-vector and flux-difference splittings of Steger-Warming, Van Leer and Roe are tested in all possible combinations in the implicit and explicit operators that can be distinguished in implicit relaxation methods for the steady Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. The tests include one-dimensional inviscid nozzle flow, and two-dimensional inviscid and viscous shock reflection. Roe’s splitting, as anticipated, is found to uniformly yield the most accurate results. On the other hand, an approximate Roe splitting of the implicit operator (the complete Roe splitting is too complicated for practical use) proves to be the least robust with regard to convergence to the steady state. In this respect, the Steger-Warming splitting is the most robust: it leads to convergence when combined with any of the splittings in the explicit operator, although not necessarily in the most efficient way.

Non-oscillatory Central Differencing for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
Many of the recently developed high-resolution schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws are based on upwind differencing. The building block of these schemes is the averaging of an approximate Godunov solver; its time consuming part involves the field-by-field decomposition which is required in order to identify the “direction of the wind.” Instead, we propose to use as a building block the mor...

where u : [0, T ] × [0, L] → R represents a density of some material in [0, L] and c > 0 is the transport velocity. It is well-known that the simple forward-time-centralspace differencing leads to instability for all discretization step-sizes (LeVeque, 2002). Instead, more sophisticated differencing schemes must be used. We set time and space discretization steps to ∆t and ∆x and denote u(n∆t, ...
متن کاملA Time-Splitting Scheme for the Elastic Equations Incorporating Second-Order Runge–Kutta Time Differencing
A forward-in-time splitting method for integrating the elastic equations is presented. A second-order Runge– Kutta time integrator (RK2) for the large-time-step integration is combined with the forward–backward scheme in a manner similar to the Klemp and Wilhelmson method. The new scheme produces fully second-order-accurate integrations for advection and gravity wave propagation. The RK2 scheme...
متن کاملA robust shock-capturing scheme based on rotated Riemann solvers
This paper presents a robust finite volume shock-capturing scheme based on the rotated approximate Riemann solver. A general framework for constructing the rotated Riemann solver is described and a rotated Roe scheme is discussed in detail. It is found that the robustness of the rotated shock-capturing scheme is closely related to the way in which the direction of upwind differencing is determi...
متن کاملAn Implementation of a Grid-Independent Upwind Scheme for the Euler Equations
A scheme for the twedimensional Euler equations that uses flow parameters to determine the direction for upwind-differencing is described. This approach reduces the grid-dependence of conventional schemes. Upwinding at the local flow angle and the local pressure-gradient angle is tested. The upwindbiased fluxes are calculated with Roe's approximate Riemann solver. A centered flux is used for th...
