Modified essentially nonoscillatory schemes based on exponential polynomial interpolation for hyperbolic conservation laws (Q2840382)

The authors consider the initial and boundary value problems for nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws, with piecewise smooth solutions containing discontinuities and shocks. For their numerical solution modified essentially non-oscillatory finite difference schemes are constructed and analyzed. In the design of the locally smoothest stencil in order to avoid crossing the discontinuities, the Lagrange interpolation is carried out by using combinations of exponential and algebraic polynomials with tuned parameters, which allows for adaptation to the characteristics of the given data. Theoretical results on the stability of the interpolation kernel and error analysis are obtained. For the constructed schemes, a specific smoothness indicator is proposed to localize smooth regions. The application of the presented modified schemes is demonstrated by a number of numerical examples for solving the scalar advection equation, 1D and 2D Euler systems, a 1D Riemann problem, and a 2D double Mach shock reflection problem.
