In this paper, we propose a novel Hermite weighted essentially non-oscillatory (HWENO) fast sweeping method to solve the static Hamilton-Jacobi equations efficiently. During the HWENO reconstruction procedure, the proposed method is built upon a new finite difference fifth order HWENO scheme involving one big stencil and two small stencils. However, one major novelty and difference from the traditional HWENO framework lies in the fact that, we do not need to introduce and solve any additional equations to update the derivatives of the unknown function $ϕ$. Instead, we use the current $ϕ$ and the old spatial derivative of $ϕ$ to update them. The traditional HWENO fast sweeping method is also introduced in this paper for comparison, where additional equations governing the spatial derivatives of $ϕ$ are introduced. The novel HWENO fast sweeping methods are shown to yield great savings in both computational time and storage, which improves the computational efficiency of the traditional HWENO scheme. In addition, a hybrid strategy is also introduced to further reduce computational costs. Extensive numerical experiments are provided to validate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approaches.
Fixed-point iterative sweeping methods were developed in the literature to efficiently solve steady state solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations and hyperbolic conservation laws. Similar as other fast sweeping schemes, the key components of this class of methods are the Gauss-Seidel iterations and alternating sweeping strategy to achieve fast convergence rate. Furthermore, good properties of fixed-point iterative sweeping methods include that they have explicit forms and do not involve inverse operation of nonlinear local systems, and they can be applied to general hyperbolic equations using a…

In this paper, we combine the nonlinear HWENO reconstruction in \cite{newhwenozq} and the fixed-point iteration with Gauss-Seidel fast sweeping strategy, to solve the static Hamilton-Jacobi equations in a novel HWENO framework recently developed in \cite{mehweno1}. The proposed HWENO frameworks enjoys several advantages. First, compared with the traditional HWENO framework, the proposed methods do not need to introduce additional auxiliary equations to update the derivatives of the unknown function $ϕ$. They are now computed from the current value of $ϕ$ and the previous spatial derivatives of…
In this paper, we propose a well-balanced fifth-order finite difference Hermite WENO (HWENO) scheme for the shallow water equations with non-flat bottom topography in pre-balanced form. For achieving the well-balance property, we adopt the similar idea of WENO-XS scheme [Xing and Shu, J. Comput. Phys., 208 (2005), 206-227.] to balance the flux gradients and the source terms. The fluxes in the original equation are reconstructed by the nonlinear HWENO reconstructions while other fluxes in the derivative equations are approximated by the high-degree polynomials directly. And an HWENO limiter is …
In this paper, we propose to combine the fifth order Hermite weighted essentially non-oscillatory (HWENO) scheme and fast sweeping method (FSM) for the solution of the steady-state $S_{N}$ transport equation in the finite volume framework. It is well-known that the $S_{N}$ transport equation asymptotically converges to a macroscopic diffusion equation in the limit of optically thick systems with small absorption and sources. Numerical methods which can preserve the asymptotic limit are referred to as asymptotic preserving methods. In the one-dimensional case, we provide the analysis to demonst…

In this paper, we propose a hybrid finite volume Hermite weighted essentially non-oscillatory (HWENO) scheme for solving one and two dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws. The zeroth-order and the first-order moments are used in the spatial reconstruction, with total variation diminishing Runge-Kutta time discretization. The main idea of the hybrid HWENO scheme is that we first use a shock-detection technique to identify the troubled cell, then, if the cell is identified as a troubled cell, we would modify the first order moment in the troubled cell and employ HWENO reconstruction in spatia…
In this paper, a fifth-order Hermite weighted essentially non-oscillatory (HWENO) scheme with artificial linear weights is proposed for one and two dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws, where the zeroth-order and the first-order moments are used in the spatial reconstruction. We construct the HWENO methodology using a nonlinear convex combination of a high degree polynomial with several low degree polynomials, and the associated linear weights can be any artificial positive numbers with only requirement that their summation equals one. The one advantage of the HWENO scheme is its simplicit…
We present fourth-order conservative non-splitting semi-Lagrangian (SL) Hermite essentially non-oscillatory (HWENO) schemes for linear transport equations with applications for nonlinear problems including the Vlasov-Poisson system, the guiding center Vlasov model, and the incompressible Euler equations in the vorticity-stream function formulation. The proposed SL HWENO schemes combine a weak formulation of the characteristic Galerkin method with two newly constructed HWENO reconstruction methods. Fourth-order accuracy is accomplished in both space and time under a non-splitting setting. Mass …
Provably convergent Newton-Raphson methods for recovering primitive variables with applications to physical-constraint-preserving Hermite WENO schemes for relativistic hydrodynamics
Context. Several numerical problems require the interpolation of discrete data that present various types of discontinuities. The radiative transfer is a typical example of such a problem. This calls for high-order well-behaved techniques to interpolate both smooth and discontinuous data. Aims. The final aim is to propose new techniques suitable for applications in the context of numerical radiative transfer. Methods. We have proposed and tested two different techniques. Essentially non-oscillatory (ENO) techniques generate several candidate interpolations based on different substencils. The s…
A high order finite difference method is proposed for unstructured meshes to simulate compressible inviscid/viscous flows with/without discontinuities. In this method, based on the strong form equation, the divergence of the flux on each vertex is computed directly from fluxes nearby by means of high order least-square. In order to capture discontinuities, numerical flux of high order accuracy is calculated on each edge and serves as supporting data of the least-square computation of the divergence. The high accuracy of the numerical flux depends on the high order WENO interpolation on each ed…
In this paper, a high-order moment-based multi-resolution Hermite weighted essentially non-oscillatory (HWENO) scheme is designed for hyperbolic conservation laws. The main idea of this scheme is derived from our previous work [J. Comput. Phys., 446 (2021) 110653], in which the integral averages of the function and its first order derivative are used to reconstruct both the function and its first order derivative values at the boundaries. However, in this paper, only the function values at the Gauss-Lobatto points in the one or two dimensional case need to be reconstructed by using the informa…
In this paper, we develop a high order residual distribution (RD) method for solving steady state conservation laws in a novel Hermite weighted essentially non-oscillatory (HWENO) framework recently developed in [24]. In particular, we design a high order HWENO integration for the integrals of source term and fluxes based on the point value of the solution and its spatial derivatives, and the principles of residual distribution schemes are adapted to obtain steady state solutions. Two advantages of the novel HWENO framework have been shown in [24]: first, compared with the traditional HWENO fr…
