An accuracy and stability study of the 2D spectral volume method

In this article, the accuracy and the stability of 2D spectral volume schemes are studied by means of an analysis of the wave propagation properties. It is shown that several SV partitions suffer from a weak instability. Stable schemes with lower dispersion and diffusion errors are proposed. Numerical tests show an important improvement in the accuracy of the fourth-order scheme.
