Abstract
An enhanced high-order reconstruction method for finite-volume solvers in orthogonal curvilinear coordinates is presented. Extending the classical Partial Donor Method (PDM) to account for geometric effects, the scheme achieves arbitrary high-order convergence while preserving monotonicity and minimizing numerical diffusion. Optimal seventh-order interpolation formulas for uniform cylindrical and spherical-radial grids are derived, complemented by an optional non-clipping algorithm that enhances accuracy near narrow extrema. Extensive tests in both linear and non-linear systems validate the method's high spatial accuracy and non-oscillatory performance. Its straightforward derivation and modest computational overhead render the approach a promising tool for astrophysical, space, and planetary applications, with the potential for extension to other curvilinear systems.
期刊介绍:
The focus of CPC is on contemporary computational methods and techniques and their implementation, the effectiveness of which will normally be evidenced by the author(s) within the context of a substantive problem in physics. Within this setting CPC publishes two types of paper.
Computer Programs in Physics (CPiP)
These papers describe significant computer programs to be archived in the CPC Program Library which is held in the Mendeley Data repository. The submitted software must be covered by an approved open source licence. Papers and associated computer programs that address a problem of contemporary interest in physics that cannot be solved by current software are particularly encouraged.
Computational Physics Papers (CP)
These are research papers in, but are not limited to, the following themes across computational physics and related disciplines.
mathematical and numerical methods and algorithms;
computational models including those associated with the design, control and analysis of experiments; and
algebraic computation.
Each will normally include software implementation and performance details. The software implementation should, ideally, be available via GitHub, Zenodo or an institutional repository.In addition, research papers on the impact of advanced computer architecture and special purpose computers on computing in the physical sciences and software topics related to, and of importance in, the physical sciences may be considered.
