Bound-preserving discontinuous Galerkin methods for conservative phase space advection in curvilinear coordinates

Bound-preserving discontinuous Galerkin methods for conservative phase space advection in curvilinear coordinates

We extend the positivity-preserving method of Zhang & Shu [49] to simulate the advection of neutral particles in phase space using curvilinear coordinates. The ability to utilize these coordinates is important for non-equilibrium transport problems in general relativity and also in science and engineering applications with specific geometries. The method achieves high-order accuracy using Disco...

Bound-preserving discontinuous Galerkin methods for relativistic hydrodynamics

In this paper, we develop discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods to solve ideal special relativistic hydrodynamics (RHD). In RHD, the density and pressure are positive. Units are normalized so that the speed of light is c = 1. Therefore, the velocity of the fluid has magnitude less than 1. To construct physically relevant numerical approximations, we develop a bound-preserving limiter to the schem...

Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Advection-diffusion-reaction Problems

We apply the weighted-residual approach recently introduced in [7] to derive dis-continuous Galerkin formulations for advection-diffusion-reaction problems. We devise the basic ingredients to ensure stability and optimal error estimates in suitable norms, and propose two new methods. 1. Introduction. In recent years Discontinuous Galerkin methods have become increasingly popular, and they have ...

Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Anisotropic Semidefinite Diffusion with Advection

We construct and analyze a discontinuous Galerkin method to solve advectiondiffusion-reaction PDEs with anisotropic and semidefinite diffusion. The method is designed to automatically detect the so-called elliptic/hyperbolic interface on fitted meshes. The key idea is to use consistent weighted average and jump operators. Optimal estimates in the broken graph norm are proven. These are consiste...
