CELL-CENTERED LAGRANGIAN LAX-WENDROFF HLL HYBRID SCHEME ON UNSTRUCTURED MESHES

Abstract

We have recently introduced a new cell-centered Lax-Wendroff HLL hybrid scheme for Lagrangian hydrodynamics [Fridrich et al. J. Comp. Phys. 326 (2016) 878-892] with results presented only on logical rectangular quadrilateral meshes. In this study we present an improved version on unstructured meshes, including uniform triangular and hexagonal meshes and non-uniform triangular and polygonal meshes. The performance of the scheme is verified on Noh and Sedov problems and its second-order convergence is verified on a smooth expansion test.Finally the choice of the scalar parameter controlling the amount of added artificial dissipation is studied.
