High-order maximum-principle-preserving and positivity-preserving weighted compact nonlinear schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws

In this paper,the maximum-principle-preserving(MPP)and positivitypreserving(PP)flux limiting technique will be generalized to a class of high-order weighted compact nonlinear schemes(WCNSs)for scalar conservation laws and the compressible Euler systems in both one and two dimensions.The main idea of the present method is to rewrite the scheme in a conservative form,and then define the local limiting parameters via case-by-case discussion.Smooth test problems are presented to demonstrate that the proposed MPP/PP WCNSs incorporating a third-order Runge-Kutta method can attain the desired order of accuracy.Other test problems with strong shocks and high pressure and density ratios are also conducted to testify the performance of the schemes.     

A parameter-free ε-adaptive algorithm for improving weighted compact nonlinear schemes

In this paper, we propose a parameter-free algorithm to calculate ε, a parameter of small quantity initially introduced into the nonlinear weights of weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) scheme to avoid denominator becoming zero. The new algorithm, based on local smoothness indicators of fifth-order weighted compact nonlinear scheme (WCNS), is designed in a manner to adaptively increase ε in smooth areas to reduce numerical dissipation and obtain high-order accuracy, and decrease ε in discontinuous areas to increase numerical dissipation and suppress spurious numerical oscillations. We discuss the relation between critical points and discontinuities and illustrate that, when large gradient areas caused by high-order critical points are not well resolved with sufficiently small grid spacing, numerical oscillations arise. The new algorithm treats high-order critical points as discontinuities to suppress numerical oscillations. Canonical numerical tests are carried out, and computational results indicate that the new adaptive algorithm can help improve resolution of small scale flow structures, suppress numerical oscillations near discontinuities, and lessen susceptibility to flux functions and interpolation variables for fifth-order WCNS. The new adaptive algorithm can be conveniently generalized to WENO/WCNS with different orders.     

关于高阶精度WCNS格式的无粘通量分裂方法

高阶精度加权紧致非线性格式(WCNS)越来越广泛地应用于复杂流动数值模拟.WCNS可以与多种无粘通量分裂方法结合起来使用.但是,常见的通量分裂方法都是基于低阶格式发展起来的,目前还不清楚哪些通量分裂方法最适合WCNS,也不知道这些方法与高阶格式结合时将会产生什么效果.表面热流计算是高超声速流动数值模拟的难点之一,为了在热流计算时选择合适的通量,研究了多种通量分裂方法的耗散大小.每种通量都可以表示成中心部分与耗散部分之和.这些通量的中心部分相同且非常简单,但是耗散部分较为复杂,且不同的通量分裂方法可导致不同的耗散表达式.通过对通量耗散进行分析可以发现耗散大小与网格界面两侧的物理量跳跃近似线性正相关.数值计算表明高阶格式得到的网格界面左右两侧的物理量跳跃通常远比低阶格式小,因而带来的通量耗散小.通过3个典型算例考察了通量耗散对热流计算的影响,其中包括高超激波/边界层干扰算例.基于对van Leer通量、Steger-Warming通量、KFVS通量、Roe通量、AUSM类通量和HLL类通量的考察,给出了通量选择建议.     

Application of central differencing and low‐dissipation weights in a weighted compact nonlinear scheme

This paper proposes WCNS‐CU‐Z, a weighted compact nonlinear scheme, that incorporates adapted central difference and low‐dissipative weights together with concepts of the adaptive central‐upwind sixth‐order weighted essentially non‐oscillatory scheme (WENO‐CU) and WENO‐Z schemes. The newly developed WCNS‐CU‐Z is a high‐resolution scheme, because interpolation of this scheme employs a central stencil constructed by upwind and downwind stencils. The smoothness indicator of the downwind stencil is calculated using the entire central stencil, and the downwind stencil is stopped around the discontinuity for stability. Moreover, interpolation of the sixth‐order WCNS‐CU‐Z exhibits sufficient accuracy in the smooth region through use of low‐dissipative weights. The sixth‐order WCNS‐CU‐Zs are implemented with a robust linear difference formulation (R‐WCNS‐CU6‐Z), and the resolution and robustness of this scheme were evaluated. These evaluations showed that R‐WCNS‐CU6‐Z is capable of achieving a higher resolution than the seventh‐order classical robust weighted compact nonlinear scheme and can provide a crisp result in terms of discontinuity. Among the schemes tested, R‐WCNS‐CU6‐Z has been shown to be robust, and variable interpolation type R‐WCNS‐CU6‐Z (R‐WCNS‐CU6‐Z‐V) provides a stable computation by modifying the first‐order interpolation when negative density or negative pressure arises after nonlinear interpolation.
