A hybrid Hermite WENO scheme for hyperbolic conservation laws

In this paper, we propose a hybrid finite volume Hermite weighted essentially non-oscillatory (HWENO) scheme for solving one and two dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws. The zeroth-order and the first-order moments are used in the spatial reconstruction, with total variation diminishing Runge-Kutta time discretization. The main idea of the hybrid HWENO scheme is that we first use a shock-detection technique to identify the troubled cell, then, if the cell is identified as a troubled cell, we would modify the first order moment in the troubled cell and employ HWENO reconstruction in spatial discretization; otherwise, we directly use high order linear reconstruction. Unlike other HWENO schemes, we borrow the thought of limiter for discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method to control the spurious oscillations, after this procedure, the scheme would avoid the oscillations by using HWENO reconstruction nearby discontinuities and have higher efficiency for using linear approximation straightforwardly in the smooth regions. In addition, the hybrid HWENO scheme still keeps the compactness. A collection of benchmark numerical tests for one and two dimensional cases are performed to demonstrate the numerical accuracy, high resolution and robustness of the proposed scheme.
