Hybrid discontinuous Galerkin-finite volume techniques for compressible flows on unstructured meshes

Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Method for Inviscid Compressible Flows

This paper presents the development of an algorithm based on the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DGFEM) for the Euler equations of gas dynamics. The DGFEM is a mixture of a finite volume and finite element method. In the DGFEM the unknowns in each element are locally expanded in a polynomial series and thus the information about the flow state at the element faces can be directly ...

Adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Methods for Compressible Fluid Flows

A unified framework for the construction of one-step finite volume and discontinuous Galerkin schemes on unstructured meshes

In this article a conservative least-squares polynomial reconstruction operator is applied to the discontinuous Galerkin method. In a first instance, piecewise polynomials of degree N are used as test functions as well as to represent the data in each element at the beginning of a time step. The time evolution of these data and the flux computation, however, are then done with a different set o...

Efficient Solution Techniques for Discontinuous Galerkin Discretizations of the Navier-Stokes Equations on Hybrid Anisotropic Meshes

The goal of this paper is to investigate and develop fast and robust solution techniques for high-order accurate Discontinuous Galerkin discretizations of non-linear systems of conservation laws on unstructured meshes. Previous work was focused on the development of hp-multigrid techniques for inviscid flows and the current work concentrates on the extension of these solvers to steady-state vis...

On positivity-preserving high order discontinuous Galerkin schemes for compressible Euler equations on rectangular meshes

We construct uniformly high order accurate discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes which preserve positivity of density and pressure for Euler equations of compressible gas dynamics. The same framework also applies to high order accurate finite volume (e.g. essentially nonoscillatory (ENO) or weighted ENO (WENO)) schemes. Motivated by [18, 24], a general framework, for arbitrary order of accuracy, ...
