Adaptive Moving Mesh Central-Upwind Schemes for Hyperbolic System of PDEs: Applications to Compressible Euler Equations and Granular Hydrodynamics

Abstract

We introduce adaptive moving mesh central-upwind schemes for one- and two-dimensional hyperbolic systems of conservation and balance laws. The proposed methods consist of three steps. First, the solution is evolved by solving the studied system by the second-order semi-discrete central-upwind scheme on either the one-dimensional nonuniform grid or the two-dimensional structured quadrilateral mesh. When the evolution step is complete, the grid points are redistributed according to the moving mesh differential equation. Finally, the evolved solution is projected onto the new mesh in a conservative manner. The resulting adaptive moving mesh methods are applied to the one- and two-dimensional Euler equations of gas dynamics and granular hydrodynamics systems. Our numerical results demonstrate that in both cases, the adaptive moving mesh central-upwind schemes outperform their uniform mesh counterparts.
