Abstract

A fourth-order, semi-discrete central-upwind scheme for multidimensional convection-diffusion equation is presented, where the local speed of wave propagation in the Riemann fans is considered based on a central weighted essentially nonoscillatory (CWENO) reconstruction, and much lower numerical viscosity is encountered and the staggering between two grids is avoided, which is regarded as a semi-discrete central-upwind scheme situated between upwind scheme and central scheme. Combining the semi-discrete central-upwind scheme with the Vorticity-Stream method, 2D incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations are solved effectively.
