Abstract

Classical high-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes are designed to achieve optimal convergence order for smooth solutions and to maintain non-oscillatory behaviors for discontinuities. However, their spectral properties are not optimal, which limits the ability to capture high-frequency waves and small-scale features. In this paper, we propose a data-driven optimized method to improve the spectral properties of the WENO schemes. By analyzing the approximate dispersion relation (ADR), the spectral error of the schemes can be bounded by the reconstructed errors of a series of trigonometric functions with different wavenumbers. Therefore, we propose the new schemes WENO5-JS/Z-NN that introduce a compensation term parameterized by a neural network to the weight function of the WENO5-JS/Z schemes. The neural network is trained such that the generated weights can minimize the reconstructed errors over a large number of spatial stencils, and furthermore, improve the spectral accuracy. Meanwhile, the Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) constraint and anti-dissipation penalization are incorporated into the loss function to enhance the shock-capturing capability and preserve stability in simulating high-frequency waves. Compared to WENO5-JS/Z, our schemes maintain the ability to capture discontinuities while providing higher resolution for fine-scale flow features. The ADR indicates that the new schemes can match the exact spectrum more accurately over a broader range of wavenumbers.
