An Eulerian-Lagrangian WENO finite volume scheme for advection problems (Q447575): Difference between revisions

A locally conservative Eulerian-Lagrangian finite volume scheme with the weighted essentially non-oscillatory property in one-space dimension (EL-WENO) is presented. The developed method has the advantages of both WENO and Eulerian-Lagrangian schemes and is formally high-order accurate in space and essentially non-oscillatory. The fifth order version is presented. The scheme requires a new integral-based WENO reconstruction to handle trace-back integration, is free of a Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy time step stability restriction and has small time truncation error. A Strang splitting algorithm is presented for higher-dimensional problems, using both the new integral-based and pointwise-based WENO reconstructions. It is formally shown that maintains the fifth order accuracy and is locally mass conservative. Numerical results are used to illustrate the performance of the scheme and verify its formal accuracy.
