Coefficients of Several Large Damping Stencils

When large computational stencils are used for increased spatial resolution, it is a good practice to use large artificial selective damping stencils as well. The coefficients of several large damping stencils are provided below.

Find the damping function in wave number space.

(c) Which approximation is more accurate in terms of reproducing the effect of physical viscosity over the resolved wave range?

(d) Which approximation would help to damp out spurious short waves?

(e) If the objective is to damp out spurious short waves alone with little damping on the long waves, is artificial selective damping better, or are physical viscous terms better?
