A class of ENO schemes with adaptive order for solving hyperbolic conservation laws

Abstract

We propose a class of essentially non-oscillatory schemes with adaptive order (ENO-AO) for solving hyperbolic conservation laws. The new schemes select candidate stencils by novel smoothness indicators which are the measurements of the minimum discrepancy between the reconstructed polynomials and the neighboring cell averages. The new smoothness indicators measure the smoothness of candidate stencils with unequal sizes in a uniform way, so that we can directly use them to select the optimal stencil from candidates that range from first-order all the way up to the designed high-order. Some benchmark test cases are carried out to demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed schemes.
