A new low-dissipation low-dispersion second-order scheme suitable for unstructured finite volume flow solvers is presented that is designed for vortical flows and for scale-resolving simulations of turbulence. The idea is that, by optimizing its dispersion properties, a standard second-order method can be improved significantly for such flows. The key is to include gradient information for computing face values of the fluxes and to use this additional degree of freedom to improve the dispersion properties of the scheme. The scheme is motivated by a theoretical consideration of the dispersion properties for a one-dimensional scalar transport equation problem. Then, the new scheme is applied using the DLR TAU-code for compressible flows and the DLR THETA-code for incompressible flows for simulations of the moving vortex problem and the Taylor–Green vortex flow. The improved accuracy for small-scale transportation and the easy implementation make this scheme a promising candidate for efficient scale-resolving simulations of turbulent flows.
