A semi-Lagrangian finite difference WENO scheme for scalar nonlinear conservation laws
نویسندگان
چکیده
For a nonlinear scalar conservation law in one-space dimension, we develop a locally conservative semi-Lagrangian finite difference scheme based on weighted essentially non-oscillatory reconstructions (SL-WENO). This scheme has the advantages of both WENO and semi-Lagrangian schemes. It is a locally mass conservative finite difference scheme, it is formally high-order accurate in space, it has small time truncation error, and it is essentially nonoscillatory. The scheme is nearly free of a CFL time step stability restriction for linear problems, and it has a relaxed CFL condition for nonlinear problems. The scheme can be considered as an extension of the SL-WENO scheme of Qiu and Shu [J. Comput. Phys., 2011] developed for linear problems. The new scheme is based on a standard sliding average formulation with the flux function defined using WENO reconstructions of (semi-Lagrangian) characteristic tracings of grid points. To handle nonlinear problems, we use an approximate, locally frozen trace velocity and a flux correction step. A special two-stage WENO reconstruction procedure is developed that is biased to the upstream direction. A Strang splitting algorithm is used for higher-dimensional problems. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the performance of the scheme and verify its formal accuracy. Included are applications to the VlasovPoisson and guiding-center models of plasma flow.

A new total variation diminishing implicit nonstandard finite difference scheme for conservation laws
In this paper, a new implicit nonstandard finite difference scheme for conservation laws, which preserving the property of TVD (total variation diminishing) of the solution, is proposed. This scheme is derived by using nonlocal approximation for nonlinear terms of partial differential equation. Schemes preserving the essential physical property of TVD are of great importance in practice. Such s...
متن کاملAn implicit Eulerian-Lagrangian WENO3 scheme for nonlinear conservation laws
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...
متن کاملA total variation diminishing high resolution scheme for nonlinear conservation laws
In this paper we propose a novel high resolution scheme for scalar nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. The aim of high resolution schemes is to provide at least second order accuracy in smooth regions and produce sharp solutions near the discontinuities. We prove that the proposed scheme that is derived by utilizing an appropriate flux limiter is nonlinear stable in the sense of total varia...
متن کاملAn alternative formulation of finite difference WENO schemes with Lax-Wendroff time discretization for conservation laws
We develop an alternative formulation of conservative finite difference weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes to solve conservation laws. In this formulation, the WENO interpolation of the solution and its derivatives are used to directly construct the numerical flux, instead of the usual practice of reconstructing the flux functions. Even though this formulation is more expensive...
