Numerical dissipation switch for two-dimensional central-upwind schemes

2021 
We propose a numerical dissipation switch, which helps to control the amount of numerical dissipation present in central-upwind schemes. Our main goal is to reduce the numerical dissipation without risking oscillations. This goal is achieved with the help of a more accurate estimate of the local propagation speeds in the parts of the computational domain, which are near contact discontinuities and shears. To this end, we introduce a switch parameter, which depends on the distributions of energy in the x - and y -directions. The resulting new central-upwind is tested on a number of numerical examples, which demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over the original central-upwind scheme.
