Abstract
In this paper a family of fully multidimensional kernel-based reconstruction schemes for use in finite volume methods (FVMs) will be presented. These methods are intended for use in shock dominated problems, and stability is achieved through a suitable adaptation of the Adaptive Order Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO-AO) method to the proposed kernel-based reconstruction schemes. There are a number of key difficulties in the design of high-order finite volume schemes which will be discussed and addressed. High (4th and 6th) order convergence will be demonstrated on smooth exact solutions of the ideal MHD equations. The very same scheme will then be applied to extremely stringent astrophysical benchmark problems.
