In this paper, we use the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) approach to rewrite the charged particle dynamics as a new family of ODE systems. The systems own a conserved energy. It is shown that a family of symmetrical methods is energy-conserving for a new ODE system but may not be for the original systems. Moreover, the methods have high-order accuracy. Numerical results are given to confirm the theoretical findings.

By introducing hybrid technique into high-order CPR (correction procedure via reconstruction) scheme, a novel hybrid WCNS-CPR scheme is developed for efficient supersonic simulations. Firstly, a shock detector based on nonlinear weights is used to identify grid cells with high gradients or discontinuities throughout the whole flow field. Then, WCNS (weighted compact nonlinear scheme) is adopted to capture shocks in these areas, while the smooth area is calculated by CPR. A strategy to treat the interfaces of the two schemes is developed, which maintains high-order accuracy. Convergent order of accuracy and shock-capturing ability are tested in several numerical experiments; the results of which show that this hybrid scheme achieves expected high-order accuracy and high resolution, is robust in shock capturing, and has less computational cost compared to the WCNS.
