A Compact Subcell WENO Limiting Strategy Using Immediate Neighbors for Runge-Kutta Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Unstructured Meshes

In this paper, we generalize the compact subcell weighted essentially non oscillatory (CSWENO) limiting strategy for Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method developed recently in [1] for structured meshes to unstructured triangular meshes. The main idea of the limiting strategy is to divide the immediate neighbors of a given cell as subcells into the required stencil and to use a WENO reconstruction for limiting. This strategy can be applied for any type of WENO reconstruction. We have used the WENO reconstruction proposed in [2] and provided accuracy tests and results for two-dimensional Burgers’ equation and two dimensional Euler equations to illustrate the performance of this limiting strategy.
