High-Order Central-Upwind shock capturing scheme using a Boundary Variation Diminishing (BVD) Algorithm

In this paper, we present a novel hybrid nonlinear explicit-compact scheme for shock-capturing based on a boundary variation diminishing (BVD) reconstruction. In our approach, we combine a non-dissipative sixth-order central compact interpolation and a fifth-order monotonicity preserving scheme (MP5) through the BVD algorithm. For a smooth solution, the BVD reconstruction chooses the highest order possible interpolation, which is central, i.e. non-dissipative in the current approach and for the discontinuities, the algorithm selects the monotone scheme. This method provides an alternative to the existing adaptive upwind-central schemes in the literature. Several numerical examples are conducted with the present approach, which suggests that the current method is capable of resolving small scale flow features and has the same ability to capture sharp discontinuities as the MP5 scheme.
