The Kurganov scheme is a third-order semi-discrete central numerical algorithm. The high solution of the scheme is ensured by a piecewise quadratic non-oscillatory reconstruction which consists of the cell-average data. We employ a modification of the smooth limiter of reconstruction in a simple way. The modified limiter possesses rigorous positivity and the reformulation does not change the non-oscillatory property of reconstruction. In order to explore the potential capability of application of the modified Kurganov scheme to magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and resistive magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD) equations, two numerical problems are simulated in two dimensions (2D). These numerical simulations demonstrate that the modified Kurganov scheme keeps high precision and has stable reliable results for MHD and RMHD applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
