The aim of this study is to develop a novel sixth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) finite difference scheme. To design new WENO weights, we present two important measurements: a discontinuity detector (at the cell boundary) and a smoothness indicator. The interpolation method is implemented by using exponential polynomials with tension parameters such that they can be tuned to ...

A set of conservative 4th-order central differencing schemes for the viscous terms of Navier-Stokes equations are proved in this paper. These schemes are used with the 5th order WENO schemes for inviscid flux. The stencil width of the central differencing scheme is within that of the WENO scheme. The algorithm is used to simulate the vortex-induced oscillations of an elastically mounted circula...

A large-eddy simulation (LES) framework is developed for simulating the dynamics of clouds and boundary layers with closed water and entropy balances. The framework is based on the anelastic equations in a formulation that remains accurate for deep convection. As prognostic variables, it uses total water and entropy, which are conserved in adiabatic and reversible processes, including reversibl...

We incorporate new high-order WENO-type reconstructions into Godunov-type central schemes for Hamilton–Jacobi equations. We study schemes that are obtained by combining the Kurganov–Noelle–Petrova flux with the weighted power ENO and the mapped WENO reconstructions. We also derive new variants of these reconstructions by composing the weighted power ENO and the mapped WENO reconstructions with ...

The weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) schemes, based on the successful essentially nonoscillatory (ENO) schemes with additional advantages, are a popular class of high-order accurate numerical methods for hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) and other convection-dominated problems. The main advantage of such schemes is their capability to achieve arbitrarily high-order form...

A general approach is given to extend WENO reconstructions to a class of numerical schemes that use different types of moments (i.e., multi-moments) simultaneously as the computational variables, such as point values and grid cell averages. The key is to re-map the multi-moment values to single moment values (e.g., cell average or point values), which can then be used to invoke known, standard ...

In this paper, we review and construct fifthand ninth-order central weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) schemes based on a finite volume formulation, staggered mesh, and continuous extension of Runge–Kutta methods for solving nonlinear hyperbolic conservation law systems. Negative linear weights appear in such a formulation and they are treated using the technique recently introduced by ...

To easily generalize the maximum-principle-satisfying schemes for scalar conservation laws in [X. Zhang and C.-W. Shu, J. Comput. Phys., 229 (2010), pp. 3091–3120] to convection diffusion equations, we propose a nonconventional high order finite volume weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) scheme which can be proved maximum-principle-satisfying. Two-dimensional extensions are straightforwa...

In this paper, an improved seventh-order WENO (WENO-Z7) scheme is suggested by extending the 5th-order WENO scheme of Borges et al[R. Borges, M. Carmona, B. Costa, W. S. Don, An improved weighted essentially non-oscillatory scheme for hyperbolic conservation laws, J. Comput. Phys. 227(2008) 3191-3211]. The sufficient condition for seventh-order accuracy is described for the new smoothness indic...

We introduce a multi-dimensional point-wise multi-domain hybrid Fourier-Continuation/WENO technique (FC-WENO) that enables high-order and non-oscillatory solution of systems of nonlinear conservation laws, and essentially dispersionless, spectral, solution away from discontinuities, as well as mild CFL constraints for explicit time stepping schemes. The hybrid scheme conjugates the expensive, s...
