Abstract

We construct new fifth-order alternative WENO (A-WENO) schemes for the Euler equations of gas dynamics. The new scheme is based on a new adaptive diffusion central-upwind Rankine-Hugoniot (CURH) numerical flux. The CURH numerical fluxes have been recently proposed in [Garg et al. J Comput Phys 428, 2021] in the context of second-order semi-discrete finite-volume methods. The proposed adaptive diffusion CURH flux contains a smaller amount of numerical dissipation compared with the adaptive diffusion central numerical flux, which was also developed with the help of the discrete Rankine-Hugoniot conditions and used in the fifth-order A-WENO scheme recently introduced in [Wang et al. SIAM J Sci Comput 42, 2020]. As in that work, we here use the fifth-order characteristic-wise WENO-Z interpolations to evaluate the fifth-order point values required by the numerical fluxes. The resulting one- and two-dimensional schemes are tested on a number of numerical examples, which clearly demonstrate that the new schemes outperform the existing fifth-order A-WENO schemes without compromising the robustness.
