摘要

High-order finite difference discontinuity detectors are essential for the location of discontinuities on discretized functions, especially in the application of high-order numerical methods for high-speed compressible flows for shock detection. The detectors are used mainly for switching between numerical schemes in regions of discontinuity to include artificial dissipation and avoid spurious oscillations. In this work a discontinuity detector is analysed by the construction of a piecewise polynomial function that incorporates jump discontinuities present on the function or its derivatives (up to third order) and the discussion on the selection of a cut-off value required by the detector. The detector function is also compared with other discontinuity detectors through numerical examples.
