The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly we carry out a modification of the finite volume WENO (weighted essentially non-oscillatory) scheme of Titarev and Toro [14] and [15].This modification is done by using two fluxes as building blocks in spatially fifth order WENO schemes instead of the second order TVD flux proposed by Titarev and Toro [14] and [15]. These fluxes are the second order TVD flux [19] and the third order TVD flux [20].Secondly, we propose to use these fluxes as a building block in spatially seventh order WENO schemes. The numerical solution is advanced in time by the third order TVD Runge–Kutta method. A way to extend these schemes to general systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws, in one and two dimension is presented. Systematic assessment of the proposed schemes shows substantial gains in accuracy and better resolution of discontinuities, particularly for problems involving long time evolution containing both smooth and non-smooth features.
