Abstract

The compact high-order ‘Spectral Volume Method’ (SVM, Wang, J. Comput. Phys. 178(1):210–251) designed for conservation laws on unstructured grids is presented. Its spectral reconstruction is exposed briefly and its applications to the Euler equations are presented through several test cases to assess its accuracy and stability. Comparisons with classical methods such as MUSCL show the superiority of SVM. The SVM method arises as a high-order accurate scheme, geometrically flexible and computationally efficient.
