| Abstract: | In this article we present a new class of high order accurate ArbitraryEulerian-Lagrangian (ALE) one-step WENO finite volume schemes for solving nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws on moving two dimensional unstructured triangular meshes. A WENO reconstruction algorithm is used to achieve high
order accuracy in space and a high order one-step time discretization is achieved by
using the local space-time Galerkin predictor proposed in 25]. For that purpose, a
new element-local weak formulation of the governing PDE is adopted on moving
space-time elements. The space-time basis and test functions are obtained considering Lagrange interpolation polynomials passing through a predefined set of nodes.
Moreover, a polynomial mapping defined by the same local space-time basis functions
as the weak solution of the PDE is used to map the moving physical space-time element onto a space-time reference element. To maintain algorithmic simplicity, the
final ALE one-step finite volume scheme uses moving triangular meshes with straight
edges. This is possible in the ALE framework, which allows a local mesh velocity that
is different from the local fluid velocity. We present numerical convergence rates for
the schemes presented in this paper up to sixth order of accuracy in space and time and
show some classical numerical test problems for the two-dimensional Euler equations
of compressible gas dynamics. |
