On a large time-step high resolution scheme

Abstract

This paper presents a class of new second-order accurate (2K + 3)-point explicit schemes for the computation of weak solutions of hyperbolic conservation laws, that are total-variation-diminishing under a Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy restriction of K. These highly nonlinear schemes are obtained by applying a nonoscillatory first-order accurate (2K + 1)-point scheme to a modified flux. The derived second-order accurate schemes achieve high resolutions, while retaining the robustness of the original first-order accurate scheme.
