Non-linear schemes are widely used in high-speed flows to capture the discontinuities present in the solution. Limiters and weighted essentially non-oscillatory schemes (WENO) are the most common non-linear numerical schemes. Most of the high-resolution schemes use the piecewise parabolic reconstruction (PPR) technique for their robustness. However, it may be impossible to achieve non-oscillatory and dissipation-free solutions with the PPR technique without non-linear switches. Most of the shock-capturing schemes use excessive dissipation to suppress the oscillations present in the discontinuities. To eliminate these issues, an algorithm is proposed that uses the shock-capturing scheme (SCS) in the first step, and then the result is refined using a novel scheme called the Discontinuity Preserving Scheme (DPS). The present scheme is a hybrid shock capture-fitting scheme. The present scheme has outperformed other schemes considered in this work, in terms of shock resolution in linear and non-linear test cases. The most significant advantage of the present scheme is that it can resolve shocks with three grid points.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
