Abstract:
The hierarchical reconstruction (HR) [9, 20] is applied to a piecewise quadratic spectral volume method on two-dimensional unstructured grids as a limiting procedure to prevent spurious oscillations in numerical solutions. The key features of this HR are that the reconstruction on each control volume only uses adjacent control volumes, which forms a compact stencil set, and there is no truncation of higher degree terms of the polynomial. We explore a WENO-type linear reconstruction on each hierarchical level for the reconstruction of high degree polynomials. Numerical computations for scalar and system of nonlinear hyperbolic equations are performed. We demonstrate that the hierarchical reconstruction can generate essentially non-oscillatory solutions while keeping the resolution and desired order of accuracy for smooth solutions.
