Numerical methods for conservation laws

Level set methods: an overview and some recent results

In these lecture notes we describe the construction, analysis, and application of ENO (Essentially Non-Oscillatory) and WENO (Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory) schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws and related Hamilton-Jacobi equations. ENO and WENO schemes are high order accurate finite difference schemes designed for problems with piecewise smooth solutions containing discontinuities. The key idea lies at the approximation level, where a nonlinear adaptive procedure is used to automatically choose the locally smoothest stencil, hence avoiding crossing discontinuities in the interpolation procedure as much as possible. ENO and WENO schemes have been quite successful in applications, especially for problems containing both shocks and complicated smooth solution structures, such as compressible turbulence simulations and aeroacoustics.

Essentially Non-Oscillatory and Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory Schemes for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws

A Non-oscillatory Eulerian Approach to Interfaces in Multimaterial Flows (the Ghost Fluid Method)

In l6r, the Ghost Fluid Method (GFM) was developed to capture the boundary conditions at a contact discontinuity in the inviscid compressible Euler equations. In l11r, related techniques were used to develop a boundary condition capturing approach for the variable coefficient Poisson equation on domains with an embedded interface. In this paper, these new numerical techniques are extended to treat multiphase incompressible flow including the effects of viscosity, surface tension and gravity. While the most notable finite difference techniques for multiphase incompressible flow involve numerical smearing of the equations near the interface, see, e.g., l19, 17, 1r, this new approach treats the interface in a sharp fashion.

A Boundary Condition Capturing Method for Multiphase Incompressible Flow

The positivity principle and positive schemes to solve multidimensional hyperbolic systems of conservation laws have been introduced in [X.-D. Liu and P. D. Lax, J. Fluid Dynam., 5 (1996), pp. 133--156]. Some numerical experiments presented there show how well the method works. In this paper we use positive schemes to solve Riemann problems for two-dimensional gas dynamics.

Positive schemes for solving multi-dimensional hyperbolic systems of conservation laws II

In this paper, we study formally high-order accurate discontinuous Galerkin methods on general arbitrary grid for multi-dimensional hyperbolic systems of conservation laws [Cockburn, B., and Shu, C.-W. (1989, Math. Comput. 52, 411---435, 1998, J. Comput. Phys. 141, 199---224); Cockburn et al. (1989, J. Comput. Phys. 84, 90---113; 1990, Math. Comput. 54, 545---581). We extend the notion of E-flux [Osher (1985) SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 22, 947---961] from scalar to system, and found that after flux splitting upwind flux [Cockburn et al. (1989) J. Comput. Phys. 84, 90---113] is a Riemann solver free E-flux for systems. Therefore, we are able to show that the discontinuous Galerkin methods satisfy a cell entropy inequality for square entropy (in semidiscrete sense) if the multi-dimensional systems are symmetric. Similar result [Jiang and Shu (1994) Math. Comput. 62, 531---538] was obtained for scalar equations in multi-dimensions. We also developed a second-order finite difference version of the discontinuous Galerkin methods. Numerical experiments have been obtained with excellent results.

The level set method for compressible flows [13] is simple to implement, especially in the presence of topological changes. However, this method was shown to suffer from large spurious oscillations in [11]. In [4], a new Ghost Fluid Method (GFM) was shown to remove these spurious oscillations by minimizing the numerical smearing in the entropy field with the help of an Isobaric Fix [6] technique. The original GFM was designed for the inviscid Euler equations. In this paper, we extend the formulation of the GFM and apply the extended formulation to the viscous Navier-Stokes equations. The resulting numerical method is robust and easy to implement along the lines of [15].
