ENO schemes with subcell resolution (Q911238)

The author gives an idea for constructing an essentially non-oscillatory (ENO) finite difference scheme for problems containing the equation of continuity in the following form: \(u_ t+f(u)_ x=0,\quad u(0,x)=u_ 0(x).\) The construction is based on the observation that cell averages of a discontinuous piecewise-smooth function contain information about the location of the discontinuity within the cell. The reader can find a detailed description of the main idea of ENO schemes and its generalization for second and higher order of accuracy. There is an application for Euler equation of gas dynamics. One can find a very interesting numerical example demonstrating the efficiency of proposed scheme.
