Trigonometric WENO schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws and highly oscillatory problems

Abstract

In this paper, we use trigonometric polynomial reconstruction, instead of algebraic polynomial reconstruction, as building blocks for the weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) finite difference schemes to solve hyperbolic conservation laws and highly oscillatory problems. The goal is to obtain robust and high order accurate solutions in smooth regions, and sharp and non-oscillatory shock transitions. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the behavior of the proposed schemes. © 2010 Global-Science Press.
