A high-order one-step sub-cell force-based discretization for cell-centered Lagrangian hydrodynamics on polygonal grids

We present a one-step high-order cell-centered numerical scheme for solving Lagrangian hydrodynamics equations on unstructured grids. The underlying finite volume discretization is constructed through the use of the sub-cell force concept invoking conservation and thermodynamic consistency. The high-order extension is performed using a one-step discretization, wherein the fluxes are computed by means of a Taylor expansion. The time derivatives of the fluxes are obtained through the use of a node-centered solver which can be viewed as a two-dimensional extension of the Generalized Riemann Problem methodology introduced by Ben-Artzi and Falcovitz.
