Recently a WENO scheme, with smoothness indicators constructed based on L 1 measure is introduced by Ha et al. (2013) and the improved version of this scheme is presented by Kim et al. (2016), referred to as WENO-NS and WENO-P schemes respectively. These schemes perform better than the existing many fifth-order WENO schemes for the problems which contain discontinuities and attain fifth-order accuracy at the critical points where the first derivative vanishes but not at the points where the second derivatives are zero. This paper deals with modification of the above said methods to obtain a new fifth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme. A new global-smoothness indicator is proposed which shows an improved behavior over the solutions of WENO-NS and WENO-P schemes and the proposed scheme attains an optimal order of approximation, even at the critical points where the first and second derivatives vanish but not the third derivative. Examples are taken in the numeric section to check the robustness and accuracy of the proposed scheme for one and two-dimensional system of Euler equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
