Space-time generalized Riemann problem solvers of order \(k\) for linear advection with unrestricted time step (Q356771)

This work concerns high-order approximations of the linear advection equation in a very long time. A GRP-type scheme of arbitrary high-order in space and time with no restriction on the time step is developed. In the usual GRP solvers, one considers a polynomial approximation of the solution in space in each cell at the initial time. Here, the authors add a second polynomial approximation of the solution in time in each interface. Thanks to this double approximation, the resulting scheme is compact. It is proved to be of order \(k+1\) in space and time, where \(k\) is the degree of the polynomials. Thanks to the compactness of the scheme, a two-dimensional extension is detailed on unstructured meshes made of triangles. Several numerical test-cases and comparison with existing methods illustrate the excellent behaviour of the scheme.
