A New Fifth-Order Weighted Compact Nonlinear Scheme with Multi-Order Candidates Weighting for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws

Based on one 5-point and two 2-point stencils, a nonlinear weighted scheme adaptive to the weighting of multi-order interpolation candidates for shock capturing is proposed. The JS weight function is adopted. The smoothness indicator of the 5-point stencil is specially designed with a higher-order leading term similar to the reference global smoothness indicator tau in the Z weighting. The design maintains that the nonlinear weights satisfy the sufficient condition for the scheme to avoid degradation at extreme points. The form of the weighting is also simplified, obviously reducing the weighting procedure's computational costs. Inviscid and viscous compressible flow problems are simulated to test the performance of the newly designed nonlinear weights based on the weighted compact nonlinear scheme. The numerical results show no obvious oscillations near the discontinuity, and the resolution of both discontinuities and smooth regions is better than JS, Z, and ZQ weighting.
