More Book Details

Description of the Book:

High order accurate centered flux approximations used in the computation of numerical solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations produce large oscillations in regions of sharp transitions. In this paper, we present a new class of filtering methods denoted by ENO-LS (Essentially Nonoscillatory Least Squares) which constructs an upgraded filtered solution that is close to the physically correct weak solution of the original evolution equation. Our method relies on the evaluation of a least squares polynomial approximation to oscillatory data using a set of points which is determined via the ENO framework. Numerical results are given in one and two space dimensions for both scalar and systems of hyperbolic conservation laws. Computational running time, efficiency and robustness of the method are illustrated in various examples such as Riemann initial data for both Burgers’ and Euler’s equations of gas dynamics. In all standard cases the filtered solution appears to converge numerically to the correct solution of the original problem.

Some interesting results based on nonstandard central difference schemes, which exactly preserve entropy, and have been recently shown generally not to be weakly convergent to a solution of the conservation law, are also obtained using out filters. ENO, Least squares, Conservation laws
