Assessing inner boundary conditions for global coronal modeling of solar maxima

Michaela Brchnelova, Błażej Kuźma, Fan Zhang +3

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-based global solar coronal simulations are slowly making their way into the space weather modeling toolchains to replace the semi-empirical metho…

COCONUT, a novel fast-converging MHD model for solar corona simulations: I. Benchmarking and optimization of polytropic solutions

Barbara Perri, Peter Leitner, Michaela Brchnelova +5

We present a novel global 3-D coronal MHD model called COCONUT, polytropic in its first stage and based on a time-implicit backward Euler scheme. Our model boosts run-time performa…

On the numerical overshoots of shock-capturing schemes

Huaibao Zhang, Fan Zhang

This note introduces a simple metric for benchmarking shock-capturing schemes. This metric is especially focused on the shock-capturing overshoots, which may undermine the robustne…

Towards optimal high-order compact schemes for simulating compressible flows

Huaibao Zhang, Fan Zhang, Chunguang Xu

Weighted compact nonlinear schemes (WCNS) [Deng and Zhang, JCP 165(2000): 22-44] were developed to improve the performance of the compact high-order nonlinear schemes (CNS) by util…

An extending strategy based on TENO framework for hyperbolic conservation laws

Fan Zhang, Jun Liu, Huaibao Zhang +1

Recently, the targeted ENO (TENO) schemes give a novel framework to keep optimal high-order spatial reconstruction wherever discontinuity is deemed to be vanished, including at smo…
