Basic function method A new numerical method on unstructured grids

A new numerical method-basic function method is proposed. This method can directly discrete differential operators on unstructured grids. By using the expansion of basic function to approach the exact function, the central and upwind schemes of derivative are constructed. By using the polynomial as basic function, applying the technique of flux splitting method and the combination of central and upwind schemes, the non-physical fluctuation near the shock wave is suppressed. The first-order basic function scheme of polynomial type for solving inviscid compressible flow numerically is constructed in this paper. Several numerical results of many typical examples for one-, two- and three-dimensional inviscid compressible steady flow illustrate that it is a new scheme with high accuracy and high resolution for shock wave. Especially, combining with the adaptive remeshing technique, the satisfactory results can be obtained by these schemes.
