K-Kernel Regularization of Mach 2000 Astrophysical Jets: Eliminating Gibbs Phenomenon in Supersonic Flows

The simulation of extreme Mach 2000 astrophysical flows traditionally encounters numerical instabilities, such as the Gibbs phenomenon and spurious oscillations, due to non-unique entropy solutions in turbulent regimes. Building upon recent computational explorations of statistical solutions (Simonis & Wissocq, 2026), this paper presents a deterministic alternative using the K-Kernel framework. By introducing a non-Markovian memory field that accumulates at the shock front, we demonstrate that memory acts as a self-regulating adaptive filter. This dynamic viscosity completely eliminates the spurious oscillations, enforcing a unique, physically admissible solution while maintaining the sharpness of the shock.

Abstract

The simulation of extreme Mach 2000 astrophysical flows traditionally encounters numerical instabilities, such as the Gibbs phenomenon and spurious oscillations, due to non-unique entropy solutions in turbulent regimes. Building upon recent computational explorations of statistical solutions (Simonis & Wissocq, 2026), this paper presents a deterministic alternative using the K-Kernel framework. By introducing a non-Markovian memory field that accumulates at the shock front, we demonstrate that memory acts as a self-regulating adaptive filter. This dynamic viscosity completely eliminates the spurious oscillations, enforcing a unique, physically admissible solution while maintaining the sharpness of the shock.
