For strong shock waves in solutions of steady-state Euler equations, the high-order shock capturing schemes usually suffer from the difficulty of convergence of residue close to machine zero. Several new weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) type schemes have recently been designed to overcome this long-standing issue. In this paper, a new hybrid strategy is proposed for the fifth-order WENO scheme to simulate steady-state solutions of Euler equations. Compared with the existing WENO schemes, the hybrid WENO scheme performs better steady-state convergence with less dissipative and dispersive errors. Meanwhile, the essentially oscillation-free feature is kept. In the hybrid strategy, the stencil is distinguished into smooth, non-smooth, or transition regions, which is realized by a simple smoothness detector based on the smoothness indicators in the original WENO method. The linear reconstruction and the specific WENO reconstruction are applied to the smooth and non-smooth regions, respectively. In the transition region, the mixture of the linear and WENO reconstructions is adopted by a smooth transitive interpolation, which plays a vital role in the steady-state convergence for the hybrid scheme. The fifth-order WENO extrapolation methods are also developed to handle the curved boundary problems. Numerical comparisons and spectral analysis are presented to demonstrate the robust performance of the new hybrid scheme for steady-state Euler equations.
