High-order finite volume multi-resolution WENO schemes with adaptive linear weights on triangular meshes

This paper presents high-order finite volume multi-resolution weighted essentially non-oscillatory schemes with adaptive linear weights to solve hyperbolic conservation laws on triangular meshes. They are abbreviated as the ALW-MR-WENO schemes. The novel third-order, fourth-order, and fifth-order ALW-MR-WENO schemes are designed by applying two unequal-sized hierarchical central stencils in comparison to the classical WENO schemes which utilize many equal-sized upwind biased/central stencils. With the application of one simple condition, only two linear weights are automatically adjusted to be positive values on condition that their summation is one. The novel finite volume ALW-MR-WENO schemes could maintain the designed order of accuracy in smooth areas and reduce to the first-order accuracy so as to keep essentially non-oscillatory properties around strong discontinuities. So it is the first time that any high-order WENO schemes with the application of only two unequal-sized stencils are obtained on triangular meshes. And the major benefits are their efficiency, compactness, and simplicity in large scale engineering applications on unstructured meshes. Finally, several tests are used to indicate the effectiveness of these new finite volume WENO schemes.
