A serious and ubiquitous issue in existing mapped WENO schemes is that most of them can hardly preserve high resolutions, but in the meantime prevent spurious oscillations in the solving of hyperbolic conservation laws with long output times. Our goal for this article was to address this widely known problem. In our previous work, the order-preserving (OP) criterion was originally introduced and carefully used to devise a new mapped WENO scheme that performs satisfactorily in long simulations, and hence it was indicated that the OP criterion plays a critical role in the maintenance of low-dissipation and robustness for mapped WENO schemes. Thus, in our present work, we firstly defined the family of mapped WENO schemes, whose mappings meet the OP criterion, as OP-Mapped WENO. Next, we attentively took a closer look at the mappings of various existing mapped WENO schemes and devised a general formula for them. That helped us to extend the OP criterion to the design of improved mappings. Then, we created a generalized implementation of obtaining a group of OP-Mapped WENO schemes, named MOP-WENO-X, as they are developed from the existing mapped WENO-X schemes, where the notation “X” is used to identify the version of the existing mapped WENO scheme. Finally, extensive numerical experiments and comparisons with competing schemes were conducted to demonstrate the enhanced performances of the MOP-WENO-X schemes.
