High order residual distribution for steady state problems for hyperbolic conservation laws

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a high order residual distribution conservative finite difference scheme for solving steady state conservation laws. A new type of WENO (weighted essentially non-oscillatory) termed as WENO-ZQ integration is used to compute the numerical fluxes and source term based on the point values of the solution, and the principles of residual distribution schemes are adapted to obtain steady state solutions. Extensive numerical examples in both scalar and system test problems in one and two dimensions demonstrate the efficiency, high order accuracy and the capability of resolving shocks of the proposed methods.
