Abstract
The standard Lax-Wendroff scheme with the conservative Lax-Friedrichs nodal predictor on highly non-uniform meshes produces serious oscillations, making it useless on such meshes. Wendroff and White (1989) [13] proposed two versions (WW and WWJp) with different predictors which work robustly on such meshes. Both WW and WWJp are second order accurate. We investigate how these methods behave on highly non-uniform meshes of three types (Pike, cluster and van der Corput) for 1D smooth solutions of the Burgers and the Euler equations. The WW and WWJp methods are extended to 2D and tested on smooth solutions of the Euler equations on 2D meshes created by the Cartesian product of 1D highly non-uniform meshes. We have not been able to find any significant difference between the WW and WWJp results, thus the simpler WW should be preferred.
