It is critical for a numerical scheme to obtain numerical results as accurate as possible with limited computational resources. Turbulent processes are very sensitive to numerical dissipation, which may dissipate the small length scales. On the other hand, dealing with shock waves, capturing and reproducing of the discontinuity may lead to non-physical oscillations for non-dissipative schemes. ...

We present a family of high-order, essentially non-oscillatory, central schemes for approximating solutions of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. These schemes are based on a new centered version of the Weighed Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO) reconstruction of point-values from cell-averages, which is then followed by an accurate approximation of the fluxes via a natural continuous ext...

Abstract Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is the art of solving PDEs on a hierarchy with increasing at each level hierarchy. Accurate treatment AMR hierarchies requires accurate prolongation solution from coarse to newly defined finer mesh. For scalar variables, suitably high-order finite volume WENO methods can carry out such prolongation. However, classes PDEs, as computational electrodynamics ...

Different relaxation approximations to partial differential equations, including conservation laws, Hamilton-Jacobi equations, convection-diffusion problems, gas dynamics problems, have been recently proposed. The present paper focuses onto diffusive relaxed schemes for the numerical approximation of nonlinear reaction diffusion equations. High order methods are obtained by coupling ENO and WEN...

In this paper, a new type of finite difference Hermite weighted essentially non-oscillatory (HWENO) schemes are constructed for solving Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equations. Point values of both the solution and its first derivatives are used in the HWENO reconstruction and evolved via time advancing. While the evolution of the solution is still through the classical numerical fluxes to ensure conver...

In this paper we present a high order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme for solving a multi-class extension of the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) model. We first review the multi-class LWR model and present some of its analytical properties. We then present the WENO schemes, which were originally designed for computational fluid dynamics problems and for solving hyperbolic co...

We present a new, formally third order, implicit Weighted Essentially NonOscillatory (iWENO3) finite volume scheme for solving systems of nonlinear conservation laws. We then generalize it to define an implicit Eulerian-Lagrangian WENO (iEL-WENO) scheme. Implicitness comes from the use of an implicit Runge-Kutta (RK) time integrator. A specially chosen two-stage RK method allows us to drastical...

Flows in which shock waves and turbulence are present and interact dynamically occur in a wide range of applications, including inertial confinement fusion, supernovae explosion, and scramjet propulsion. Accurate simulations of such problems are challenging because of the contradictory requirements of numerical methods used to simulate turbulence, which must minimize any numerical dissipation t...
