Shock capturing with Padé methods

From MaRDI portal





The article describes the development of a fourth-order Padé shock capturing method for conservation laws. Thereby, the primitive function reconstruction method proposed by \textit{C.-W. Shu} and \textit{S. Osher} [J. Comput. Phys. 77, No. 2, 439-471 (1988; Zbl 0653.65072); ibid. 83, No. 1, 32-78 (1989; Zbl 0674.65061)] in the context of essentially nonoscillatory schemes is applied to a Padé method in order to maintain conservation. In particular, the authors study a nonsymmetric Padé approximation that they have not seen before. Limiters are used to prevent spurious oscillations near shocks and a Runge-Kutta method is used to march the solution in time. Numerical results are performed for the one-dimensional Burgers' equation as well as the one-dimensional Euler equations of gas dynamics to find limiters which maintain accuracy at smooth extrema, minimize spurious oscillations near shocks and resolve high frequency smooth solutions.
