What is High-order Compact Difference Schemes on Wide Computational Stencils with a Spectral-like Accuracy about?

In this paper, we propose a generalized framework for the derivation of compact difference schemes for the approximation of an arbitrary order derivative. We formulate a methodology for calculating the approximation coefficients involving a large number of mesh points leading to very high-order formulas, e.g., 20th or 30th order. The main emphasis is on the first and second order derivative occurring in the Navier-Stokes equations governing fluid flow problems. Contrary to most studies on compact schemes in which the computational stencils employed in the discretization are narrow and consist of only a few mesh points K, in the presented paper we consider wide stencils that in practice are limited only by the overall number of the nodes in a computational grid. We analyze the features of such wide stencil based schemes in physical and spectral space. It is shown that the solutions obtained applying the schemes of the same order but involving different number of the mesh points characterize significantly different accuracy. This is presented by direct comparisons of the analytically derived formula for the leading terms of the truncation errors as well as in practical simulations. T
