A compact simple HWENO scheme with ADER time discretization for hyperbolic conservation laws I: structured meshes

In this paper, a compact and high order ADER (Arbitrary high order using DERivatives) scheme using the simple HWENO method (ADER-SHWENO) is proposed for hyperbolic conservation laws. The newly-developed method employs the Lax-Wendroff procedure to convert time derivatives to spatial derivatives, which provides the time evolution of the variables at the cell interfaces. This information is required for the simple HWENO reconstructions, which take advantages of the simple WENO and the classic HWENO. Compared with the original Runge-Kutta HWENO method (RK-HWENO), the new method has two advantages. Firstly, RK-HWENO method must solve the additional equations for reconstructions, which is avoided for the new method. Secondly, the SHWENO reconstruction is performed once with one stencil and is different from the classic HWENO methods, in which both the function and its derivative values are reconstructed with two different stencils, respectively. Thus the new method is more efficient than the RK-HWENO method. Moreover, the new method is more compact than the existing ADER-WENO method. Besides, the new method makes the best use of the information in the ADER method. Thus, the time evolution of the cell averages of the derivatives is simpler than that developed in the work [Li et. al., 447 (2021), 110661.]. Numerical tests indicate that the new method can achieve high order for smooth solutions both in space and time, keep non-oscillatory at discontinuities
