Abstract

In this work, an adaptive central-upwind 6th-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme is developed. The scheme adapts between central and upwind schemes smoothly by a new weighting relation based on blending the smoothness indicators of the optimal higher order stencil and the lower order upwind stencils. The scheme achieves 6th-order accuracy in smooth regions of the solution by introducing a new reference smoothness indicator. A number of numerical examples suggest that the present scheme, while preserving the good shock-capturing properties of the classical WENO schemes, achieves very small numerical dissipation.
