A Finite Volume Formulation for Compact Schemes on Arbitrary Meshes with Applications to LES

In recent years there has been a great interest in compact (or Pade type) schemes [1], [2], [3]. On Cartesian uniform meshes these schemes offer a high order of accuracy with only a compact stencil. More importantly, the resolution of the shorter length scales of the solution of these schemes is better than for classical finite-difference methods [4], which makes these schemes especially attractive for applications such as DNS, LES and computational aeroacoustics [5], [6].
