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
