Seventh and ninth orders characteristic-wise alternative WENO finite difference schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws

In this work, the characteristic-wise alternative formulation of the seventh and ninth orders conservative weighted essentially non-oscillatory (AWENO) finite difference schemes is derived. The polynomial reconstruction procedure is applied to the conservative variables rather than the flux function of the classical WENO scheme. The numerical flux contains a low order term and high order derivative terms. The low order term can use arbitrary...
