چکیده

The goal of this study is to apply the MUSCL scheme to the linear advection equation on general unstructured grids and to examine the eigenvalue stability of the resulting linear semi-discrete equation. Although this semi-discrete scheme is in general stable on cartesian grids, numerical calculations of spectra show that this can sometimes fail for generalizations of the MUSCL method to unstructured three-dimensional grids. This motivates our investigation of the influence of the slope reconstruction method and stencil on the eigenvalue stability of the MUSCL scheme. A theoretical stability analysis of the first order upwind scheme proves that this method is stable on arbitrary grids. In contrast, a general theoretical result is very difficult to obtain for the MUSCL scheme. We are able to identify a local property of the slope reconstruction that is strongly related to the appearance of unstable eigenmodes. This property allows to identify the reconstruction methods that are best suited for stable discretizations. The explicit numerical computation of spectra for a large number of twoand three-dimensional test cases confirms and completes the theoretical results.

A Mass Conservative Method for Numerical Modeling of Axisymmetric flow

In this paper, the cell-centered finite volume method (CC-FVM) has been presented to simulate the axisymmetric radial flow toward a pumping well. The model is applied to the unstructured triangular grids which allows to simulate inhomogeneous and complex-shaped domains. Due to the non-orthogonality of the irregular grids, the multipoint flux approximation (MPFA) methods are used to discretize t...

L∞-stability of vertex-based MUSCL finite volume schemes on unstructured grids: Simulation of incompressible flows with high density ratios

This work is devoted to the design of multi-dimensional finite volume schemes for solving transport equations on unstructured grids. In the framework of MUSCL vertex-based methods we construct numerical fluxes such that the local maximum property is guaranteed under an explicit Courant-Friedrichs-Levy condition. The method can be naturally completed by adaptive local mesh refinements and it tur...

An efficient unstructured MUSCL scheme for solving the 2D shallow water equations

The aim of this paper is to present a novel monotone upstream scheme for conservation law (MUSCL) on unstructured grids. The novel edge-based MUSCL scheme is devised to construct the required values at the midpoint of cell edges in a more straightforward and effective way compared to other conventional approaches, by making better use of the geometrical property of the triangular grids. The sch...

Convergence of a Finite Volume Extension of the Nessyahu–tadmor Scheme on Unstructured Grids for a Two-dimensional Linear Hyperbolic Equation∗

Abstract. The nonoscillatory central difference scheme of Nessyahu and Tadmor is a Godunovtype scheme for one-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws in which the resolution of Riemann problems at the cell interfaces is bypassed thanks to the use of the staggered Lax–Friedrichs scheme. Piecewise linear MUSCL-type (monotonic upstream-centered scheme for conservation laws) cell interpolants and ...

A general approach to enhance slope limiters on non-uniform rectilinear grids

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 convergenc...
