Abstract
We present the first high order one-step ADER-WENO finite volume scheme with
Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) in multiple space dimensions. High order spatial
accuracy is obtained through a WENO reconstruction, while a high order one-step
time discretization is achieved using a local space-time discontinuous Galerkin
predictor method. Due to the one-step nature of the underlying scheme, the
resulting algorithm is particularly well suited for an AMR strategy on
space-time adaptive meshes, i.e.with time-accurate local time stepping. The AMR
property has been implemented 'cell-by-cell', with a standard tree-type
algorithm, while the scheme has been parallelized via the Message Passing
Interface (MPI) paradigm. The new scheme has been tested over a wide range of
examples for nonlinear systems of hyperbolic conservation laws, including the
classical Euler equations of compressible gas dynamics and the equations of
magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). High order in space and time have been confirmed
via a numerical convergence study and a detailed analysis of the computational
speed-up with respect to highly refined uniform meshes is also presented. We
also show test problems where the presented high order AMR scheme behaves
clearly better than traditional second order AMR methods. The proposed scheme
that combines for the first time high order ADER methods with space--time
adaptive grids in two and three space dimensions is likely to become a useful
tool in several fields of computational physics, applied mathematics and
mechanics.
