A general approach to enhance slope limiters on non-uniform rectilinear grids
نویسنده
چکیده
A general approach to study and enhance the slope limiter functions on non-uniform grids is presented. Slope limiters are preferred in high-resolutions schemes in general and MUSCL in particular to solve hyperbolic conservation laws. However, most 1D limiters are developed assuming uniform meshes in space, which are shown to be inadequate on non-uniform grids. Especially, secondorder convergence is shown to be lost when the conventional limiters are applied on irregular grids in the case of smooth solutions. A methodology based on the classical reconstruct-evolve-project approach and Harten’s stability theory is presented to study the slope limiters on 1D non-uniform computational grids. Sufficient conditions for the limiters to lead to formal second-order spatial accuracy, total-variational-diminishing stability and symmetry-preserving property are derived. The analysis and results extend naturally to cell-centered finite volume methods in multiple dimensions. Several most widely used conventional limiters are enhanced to satisfy these conditions, and their performances are illustrated by various 1D and 2D numerical examples.

Analysis of Slope Limiters on Irregular Grids
This paper examines the behavior of flux and slope limiters on non-uniform grids in multiple dimensions. Many slope limiters in standard use do not preserve linear solutions on irregular grids impacting both accuracy and convergence. We rewrite some well-known limiters to highlight their underlying symmetry, and use this form to examine the properties of both traditional and novel limiter formu...
متن کاملNew two-dimensional slope limiters for discontinuous Galerkin methods on arbitrary meshes
In this paper, we introduce an extension of Van Leer’s slope limiter for two-dimensional discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods on arbitrary unstructured quadrangular or triangular grids. The aim is to construct a non-oscillatory shock capturing DG method for the approximation of hyperbolic conservative laws without adding excessive numerical dispersion. Unlike some splitting techniques that are l...

a r t i c l e i n f o This paper presents a shock detection technique based on Moving Least Squares reproducing kernel approximations. The multiresolution properties of these kinds of approximations allow us to define a wavelet function to act as a smoothness indicator. This MLS sensor is used to detect the shock waves. When the MLS sensor is used in a finite volume framework in combination wit...

We present a novel method for hardwareaccelerated texture advection of 3D velocity fields defined on curvilinear grids. For uniform rectilinear grids, texture advection can be efficiently performed within the rasterization unit by existing approaches. In a pre-processing step, the vector field is transformed from the curvilinear grid (P-Space) to a uniform rectilinear grid (C-Space). Hardware a...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Slope Limiters for Finite Volume Schemes on Non-Coordinate-Aligned Meshes
In this paper we develop a new limiter for linear reconstruction on non-coordinatealigned meshes in two space dimensions, with focus on Cartesian embedded boundary grids. Our limiter is inherently two-dimensional and linearity preserving. It separately limits the x and y components of the gradient, as opposed to a scalar limiter which limits all components simultaneously with one scalar. The li...
