Abstract
Recently, Buchmuller and Helzel proposed a modified dimension-by-dimension finite-volume (FV) WENO method on Cartesian grids for multidimensional nonlinear conservation laws which can retain the full order of accuracy of the underlying one-dimensional (1D) reconstruction. In this work, we extend this method to multidimensional convection–diffusion equations. The 1D sixth-order central reconstruction of the conserved quantity is utilized for discretizing the diffusion terms in which the diffusion coefficients may be nonlinear functions of the conserved quantity. Using high-order accurate conversions between edge-averaged values and edge center values of any sufficiently smooth quantity, high-order accurate convective and viscous numerical fluxes at cell interfaces are computed. The present modified FV method uses fourth-order accurate conversions for the diffusive fluxes. Numerical examples show that the present method achieves fourth-order accuracy for multidimensional smooth problems, and is suitable for the numerical simulation of viscous shocked flows.
