High order finite volume approximations of differential operators on nonuniform grids

From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:687791)





The article deals with the construction of difference operators that mimic crucial properties of differential operators as symmetry, conservation, stability, duality relationship and identities between the gradient, curl and divergence as accurately as possible. The finite volume method is used to derive locally, accurate, reliable and efficient difference methods that mimic these properties on nonuniform rectangular and cuboid grids. These methods are especially powerful on coarse nonuniform grids and in calculations where the mesh moves to track interfaces or shocks. Numerical examples comparing local second and fourth order finite volume approximations to conservation laws on very rough grids are used to demonstrate the advantages of the higher order methods.
