Abstract:
      A high order central-upwind scheme for approximating hyperbolic conservation laws is proposed. This construction is based on the evaluation of the local propagation speeds of the discontinuities and Peer's fourth order non-oscillatory reconstruction. The presented scheme shares the simplicity of central schemes, namely no Riemann solvers are involved. Furthermore, it avoids alternating between two staggered grids, which is particularly a challenge for problems which involve complex geometries and boundary conditions. Numerical experiments demonstrate the high resolution and non-oscillatory properties of our scheme.
