Some results on numerical methods for hyperbolic conservation laws
This dissertation contains some results on the numerical solutions of hyperbolic conservation laws. (1) The author introduced an artificial compression method as a correction to the basic ENO schemes. The method successfully prevents contact discontinuities from being smeared. This is achieved by increasing the slopes of the ENO reconstructions in such a way that the essentially non-oscillatory property of the schemes is kept. He analyzes the non-oscillatory property of the new artificial compression method by applying it to the UNO scheme which is a second order accurate ENO scheme, and proves that the resulting scheme is indeed non-oscillatory. Extensive 1-D numerical results and some preliminary 2-D ones are provided to show the strong performance of the method. (2) He combines the ENO schemes and the centered difference schemes into self-adjusting hybrid schemes which will be called the localized ENO schemes. At or near the jumps, he uses the ENO schemes with the field by field decompositions, otherwise he simply uses the centered difference schemes without the field by field decompositions. The method involves a new interpolation analysis. In the numerical experiments on several standard test problems, the quality of the numerical results of this method is close to that of the pure ENO results. The localized ENO schemes can be equipped with the above artificial compression method. In this way, he dramatically improves the resolutions of the contact discontinuities at very little additional costs. (3) He introduces a space-time mesh refinement method for time dependent problems.
