High order fast sweeping methods for efficiently solving steady state solutions of hyperbolic PDEs were not available yet on unstructured meshes. In this paper, we extend high order fast sweeping methods to unstructured triangular meshes by applying fixed-point iterative sweeping techniques to a fifth-order finite volume unstructured WENO scheme, for solving steady state solutions of hyperbolic conservation laws. An advantage of fixed-point fast sweeping methods which distinguishes them from other fast sweeping methods is that they are explicit and do not require inverse operation of nonlinear local systems. As in the first order fast sweeping methods on triangular meshes, we introduce multiple reference points to determine alternating sweeping directions on unstructured meshes. All the cells on the mesh are ordered according to their centroids' distances to those reference points, and the resulted orderings provide sweeping directions for iterations. To make the residue of the fast sweeping iterations converge to machine zero / round off errors, we follow the approach in our early work of developing the absolutely convergent fixed-point fast sweeping WENO methods on rectangular meshes, and adopt high order WENO scheme with unequal-sized sub-stencils for spatial discretization. Extensive numerical experiments are performed to show the accuracy, computational efficiency, and absolute convergence of the presented fifth-order fast sweeping scheme on triangular meshes. Furthermore, the proposed method is compared with the forward Euler method and the popular third order total variation diminishing Rung-Kutta method for steady state computations. Numerical examples show that the developed fixed-point fast sweeping WENO method is the most efficient scheme among them, and especially it can save up to 70 solutions.
