Abstract

In this research work, a fifth-order well-balanced weighted essentially non-oscillatory scheme based on finite difference (FDWENO) was presented to solve a blood flow model in arteries. The FDWENO scheme preserves the balanced property for steady-state solutions while achieving fifth-order accuracy in smooth regions. Additionally, it does not exhibit spurious non-oscillatory behavior in discontinuous and shock areas. Several numerical examples were considered to investigate the balanced characteristic, fifth-order accuracy, and prevention of spurious oscillations. The results of these examples demonstrated the effectiveness of the newly developed scheme in this research.
