Computational aeroacoustics using hyperbolic wave primitives

Abstract

A compact high order three-spatial point, two-time level dissipationless scheme is derived by matching amplification factors from differential and difference forms hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations. This approach has the advantage of allowing large time steps (Courant numbers of one) and imposing boundary conditions that are globally compatible with the wave operators. Solutions are presented for planar and spherical one dimensional acoustic waves and more complex wave patterns in two dimensions.
