Abstract

This paper introduces an effcient class of adaptive stencil extension reconstruction methods based on a discontinuity feedback factor, addressing the challenges of weak robustness and high computational cost in high-order schemes, particularly those of 7th-order or above. Two key innovations are presented: The accuracy order adaptively increases from the lowest level based on local stencil smoothness, contrasting with conventional methods like Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO) and Monotonic Upstream-Centered Scheme for Conservation Laws (MUSCL)limiters, which typically reduce order from the highest level. The Discontinuity Feedback Factor (DF) serves a dual purpose: detecting sub-cell discontinuity strength and explicitly incorporating into the reconstruction process as a local smoothness measure. This approach eliminates the need for computationally expensive smoothness indicators often required in very high-order schemes, such as 9th-order schemes, and can be easily generalized to arbitrary high-order schemes. Rigorous test cases, including a Mach 20000 jet, demonstrate the exceptional robustness of this approach.
