Abstract: In this study, we propose a high-order well-balanced and positivity-reserving finite volume affine-invariant central weighted essentially non-oscillatory (Ai-CWENO) method for the Euler equations with gravitation. Unlike the dimension-by-dimension approach used in our previous work [Xiang et al., J. Sci. Comput., 2025, 102(2): 29], an affine-invariant CWENOZ operator based on fully two-dimensional basis functions is designed to reconstruct the two-dimensional polynomial directly. On the other hand, to reduce the dissipation, we adapt the newly developed low-dissipation central-upwind (LDCU) numerical flux in [Cui et al., J. Comput. Phys., 2025, 538: 114189] and rigorously prove its contact property, which is usually destroyed when using an incomplete Riemann solver. Then, the well-balanced property is achieved by using hydrostatic reconstruction and approximation of the source term. For extreme problems, we further incorporate the positivity-preserving limiter to ensure the stability of numerical solutions and theoretically analyze the positivity-preserving properties with a suitable CFL condition. Several numerical examples demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves fifth-order accuracy for smooth problems, maintains the well-balanced property at the steady state, accurately captures small perturbations near the steady-state solution, and preserves the positivity of the density and pressure.
