Abstract
In this paper, high order well-balanced finite difference weighted essentially non-oscillatory methods to solve general systems of balance laws are presented. Two different families are introduced: while the methods in the first one preserve every stationary solution, those in the second family only preserve a given set of stationary solutions that depend on some parameters. The accuracy, well-balancedness, and conservation properties of the methods are discussed, as well as their application to systems with singular source terms. The strategy is applied to derive third and fifth order well-balanced methods for a linear scalar balance law, Burgers' equation with a nonlinear source term, and for the shallow water model. In particular, numerical methods that preserve every stationary solution or only water at rest equilibria are derived for the latter.(© 2020 Elsevier Inc.) Show more
