Due to the positivity-preserving property of mPDeC, the resulting scheme is unconditionally positivity preserving for the water height. To apply the mPDeC approach, we have to interpret the spatial semi-discretization in terms of production-destruction systems. Only small modifications inside the classical WENO implementation are necessary and we explain how it can be done. In numerical simulations, focusing on a fifth order method, we demonstrate the good performance of the new method and verify the theoretical properties.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2022-08-08T11:14:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "arbitrary high order", "shallow water equations", "positivity preserving method", "finite volume weno method", "high order well-balanced finite" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
