In this paper, we propose a class of high-order schemes for solving oneand two-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws. The methods are formulated in a central finite volume framework on staggered meshes, and they involve Hermite WENO (HWENO) reconstructions in space, and Lax-Wendroff type discretizations or the natural continuous extension of Runge-Kutta methods in time. Compared with central...

The quest continues for accurate and efficient computational fluid dynamics (CFD) algorithms for convection-dominated flows. The boundary value ‘optimal’ Galerkin weak statement invariably requires manipulation to handle the disruptive character introduced by the discretized first-order convection term. An incredible variety of methodologies have been derived and examined to address this issue,...

In this paper, we use Hermite weighted essentially non-oscillatory (HWENO) schemes with a Lax-Wendroff time discretization procedure, termed HWENO-LW schemes, to solve Hamilton-Jacobi equations. The idea of the reconstruction in the HWENO schemes comes from the original WENO schemes, however both the function and its first derivative values are evolved in time and are used in the reconstruction...

In this paper we present an improved lattice Boltzmann model for compressible Navier-Stokes system with high Mach number. The model is composed of three components: (i) the discrete-velocity-model by Watari and Tsutahara [Phys Rev E 67,036306(2003)], (ii) a modified Lax-Wendroff finite difference scheme where reasonable dissipation and dispersion are naturally included, (iii) artificial viscosi...

This paper describes the development of the stream-tube based dispersion model for modeling contaminant transport in open channels. The operator-splitting technique is employed to separate the 2D contaminant transport equation into the pure advection and pure dispersion equations. Then the total variation diminishing (TVD) schemes are combined with the second-order Lax-Wendroff and third–order ...
