Hybrid Well-balanced WENO Schemes with Different Indicators for Shallow Water Equations

In (J. Comput. Phys. 229: 8105-8129, 2010), Li and Qiu investigated the hybrid weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes with different indicators for Euler equations of gas dynamics. In this continuation paper, we extend the method to solve the one- and two-dimensional shallow water equations with source term due to the non-flat bottom topography, with a goal of obtaining the same advantages of the schemes for the Euler equations, such as the saving computational cost, essentially non-oscillatory property for general solution with discontinuities, and the sharp shock transition. Extensive simulations in one- and two-dimensions are provided to illustrate the behavior of this procedure.
