Abstract:
High-order bicompact schemes for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws are considered. The goal is to achieve a significant speed-up for these schemes. Implicit-explicit
Runge-Kutta methods are proposed for time discretization, instead of the previously used
diagonally implicit methods. The global Lax-Friedrichs-Rusanov flux splitting is a premise for the implicit-explicit approximation. It is shown that implicit-explicit bicompact
schemes are stable for any ratio of steps in time and space. The high accuracy of the new
implicit-explicit schemes and the substantial speed-up are demonstrated on multidimensional gas dynamics problems.
Keywords:compact schemes, bicompact schemes, implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta methods, high-order schemes, hyperbolic systems of equations.
