Abstract

In this note, we present a new method for the numerical integration of one dimensional linear acoustics with long time steps. It is based on a scale-wise decomposition of the data using standard multigrid ideas and a scale-dependent blending of basic time integrators with different principal features. This enables us to accurately compute balanced solutions with slowly varying short-wave source terms. At the same time, the method effectively filters freely propagating compressible short-wave modes. The selection of the basic time integrators is guided by their discrete-dispersion relation. Furthermore, the ability of the schemes to reproduce balanced solutions is shortly investigated. The method is meant to be used in semi-implicit finite volume methods for weakly compressible flows.
