In this work, we introduce new finite-difference shock-capturing central schemes on staggered grids. Staggered schemes may have better resolution of the corresponding unstaggered schemes of the same order. They are based on high order non oscillatory reconstruction (ENO or WENO), and a suitable ODE solver for the computation of the integral of the flux. Although they suffer from a more severe s...

Differential equations arising in fluid mechanics are usually derived from the intrinsic properties of mechanical systems, in the form of conservation laws, and bear symmetries, which are not generally preserved by a finite difference approximation, and leading to inaccurate numerical results. This paper proposes a method that enables us to build a scheme that preserves some of those symmetries.

Finite difference kind of schemes are popular in approximating wave propagation problems finite dimensional spaces. While Yee’s original paper on the method is already from sixties, mathematically there still remains questions which not yet satisfactorily covered. In this paper, we address two issues kind. Firstly, literature scheme constructed separately for each particular type problem. Here,...

The method of difference potentials was originally proposed by Ryaben’kii and can be interpreted as a generalized discrete version of the method of Calderon’s operators in the theory of partial differential equations. It has a number of important advantages; it easily handles curvilinear boundaries, variable coefficients, and non-standard boundary conditions while keeping the complexity at the ...
