Central Schemes for Hamilton-Jacobi Equations on Triangular Meshes

(with S. Nayak, C.-W. Shu, and Y.-T. Zhang)

SIAM J. Scientific Computing, 28, 2006, 2229-2247


We develop the first semi-discrete central schemes for Hamilton-Jacobi equations on triangular meshes. High-order schemes are then obtained by combining our new numerical fluxes with high-order WENO reconstructions on triangular meshes. The numerical fluxes are shown to be monotone in certain cases. The accuracy and high-resolution properties of our scheme are demonstrated in a variety of numerical examples.
