In this paper we utilize a family of high-resolution, non-oscillatory central schemes for the approximate solution of the equations of ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in oneand two-space dimensions. We present several prototype problems. Solutions of one-dimensional shock-tube problems is carried out using secondand third-order central schemes [19, 18], and we use the second-order central sche...

Novel Multi-dimensional Upwind Constrained Transport (MUCT) schemes on un-structured triangular grids are described. Constrained Transport (CT) discretizations conserve the divergence-free nature of divergence-free vector fields on the discrete level. Multi-dimensional Upwind (MU) schemes generalize the concept of dimensionally split upwind schemes for hyperbolic systems to truly multidimension...

In this paper, we develop a class of nonlinear compact schemes based on our previous linear central compact schemes with spectral-like resolution [X. Liu, S. Zhang, H. Zhang and C-W. Shu, A new class of central compact schemes with spectral-like resolution I: Linear schemes, Journal of Computational Physics 248 (2013) 235-256]. In our approach, we compute the flux derivatives on the cell-nodes ...

In this paper an upwind algorithm based on Roe’s scheme is presented for solution of PNS equations. Non iterative-implicit method using finite volume technique is used. The main advantage of this approach, in comparison with similar upwind methods, is reduction of oscillations around sonic line. This advantage causes the present method to be able to analyze supersonic flows with free stream Mac...

We present the first fifth-order, semi-discrete central-upwind method for approximating solutions of multi-dimensional Hamilton–Jacobi equations. Unlike most of the commonly used high-order upwind schemes, our scheme is formulated as a Godunov-type scheme. The scheme is based on the fluxes of Kurganov–Tadmor and Kurganov– Noelle–Petrova, and is derived for an arbitrary number of space dimension...

A maximum-principle-satisfying space-time conservation element and solution element (CE/SE) scheme is constructed to solve a reduced five-equation model coupled with the stiffened equation of state for compressible multifluids. We first derive a sufficient condition for CE/SE schemes to satisfy maximum-principle when solving a general conservation law. And then we introduce a slope limiter to e...

Introduction In this paper we consider cell centered nite di erence approximations for second order convection di usion equations of divergence type Our goal is to construct nite di erence methods of second order of approximation that satisfy the discrete maximum principle The error estimates are in the discrete Sobolev spaces associated with the considered boundary value problem Approximation ...

The spectral action balance equation is an equation that used to simulate short-crested wind-generated waves in shallow water areas such as coastal regions and inland waters. This equation consists of two spatial dimensions, wave direction, and wave frequency which can be solved by finite difference method. When this equation with dominating convection term are discretized using central differe...
