Lagrangian ADER-WENO Finite Volume Schemes on Unstructured Triangular Meshes Based On Genuinely Multidimensional HLL Riemann Solvers
In this paper we use the genuinely multidimensional HLL Riemann solvers
recently developed by Balsara et al. to construct a new class of
computationally efficient high order Lagrangian ADER-WENO one-step ALE finite
volume schemes on unstructured triangular meshes. A nonlinear WENO
reconstruction operator allows the algorithm to achieve high order of accuracy
in space, while high order of accuracy in time is obtained by the use of an
ADER time-stepping technique based on a local space-time Galerkin predictor.
The multidimensional HLL and HLLC Riemann solvers operate at each vertex of the
grid, considering the entire Voronoi neighborhood of each node and allows for
larger time steps than conventional one-dimensional Riemann solvers. The
results produced by the multidimensional Riemann solver are then used twice in
our one-step ALE algorithm: first, as a node solver that assigns a unique
velocity vector to each vertex, in order to preserve the continuity of the
computational mesh; second, as a building block for genuinely multidimensional
numerical flux evaluation that allows the scheme to run with larger time steps
compared to conventional finite volume schemes that use classical
one-dimensional Riemann solvers in normal direction. A rezoning step may be
necessary in order to overcome element overlapping or crossing-over. We apply
the method presented in this article to two systems of hyperbolic conservation
laws, namely the Euler equations of compressible gas dynamics and the equations
of ideal classical magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD). Convergence studies up to
fourth order of accuracy in space and time have been carried out. Several
numerical test problems have been solved to validate the new approach
High-Order Unstructured Lagrangian One-Step WENO Finite Volume Schemes for Non-Conservative Hyperbolic Systems: Applications to Compressible Multi-Phase Flows
In this article we present the first better than second order accurate
unstructured Lagrangian-type one-step WENO finite volume scheme for the
solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations with non-conservative
products. The method achieves high order of accuracy in space together with
essentially non-oscillatory behavior using a nonlinear WENO reconstruction
operator on unstructured triangular meshes. High order accuracy in time is
obtained via a local Lagrangian space-time Galerkin predictor method that
evolves the spatial reconstruction polynomials in time within each element. The
final one-step finite volume scheme is derived by integration over a moving
space-time control volume, where the non-conservative products are treated by a
path-conservative approach that defines the jump terms on the element
boundaries. The entire method is formulated as an Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian
(ALE) method, where the mesh velocity can be chosen independently of the fluid
velocity.
The new scheme is applied to the full seven-equation Baer-Nunziato model of
compressible multi-phase flows in two space dimensions. The use of a Lagrangian
approach allows an excellent resolution of the solid contact and the resolution
of jumps in the volume fraction. The high order of accuracy of the scheme in
space and time is confirmed via a numerical convergence study. Finally, the
proposed method is also applied to a reduced version of the compressible
Baer-Nunziato model for the simulation of free surface water waves in moving
domains. In particular, the phenomenon of sloshing is studied in a moving water
tank and comparisons with experimental data are provided
