High-order entropy stable finite difference schemes for nonlinear conservation laws: Finite domains
Nonlinear entropy stability is used to derive provably stable high-order finite difference operators including boundary closure stencils, for the compressible NavierStokes equations. A comparison technique is used to derive a new Entropy Stable Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (SSWENO) finite difference method, appropriate for simulations of problems with shocks. Viscous terms are approximated using conservative, entropy stable, narrow-stencil finite difference operators. The efficacy of the new discrete operators is demonstrated using both smooth and discontinuous test cases.
