چکیده

A water surface slope limiting scheme is tested and compared with the water depth slope limiter for the solution of one dimensional shallow water equations with bottom slope source term. Numerical schemes based on the total variation diminishing RungeKutta discontinuous Galerkin finite element method with slope limiter schemes based on water surface slope and water depth are used to solve one-dimensional shallow water equations. For each slope limiter, three different Riemann solvers based on HLL, LF, and Roe flux functions are used. The proposed water surface based slope limiter scheme is easy to implement and shows better conservation property compared to the slope limiter based on water depth. Of the three flux functions, the Roe approximation provides the best results while the LF function proves to be least suitable when used with either slope limiter scheme. Keywords—Discontinuous finite element, TVD Runge-Kutta scheme, slope limiters, Riemann solvers, shallow water flow.

Positivity-preserving high order well-balanced discontinuous Galerkin methods for the shallow water equations

Shallow water equations with a non-flat bottom topography have been widely used to model flows in rivers and coastal areas. An important difficulty arising in these simulations is the appearance of dry areas, as standard numerical methods may fail in the presence of these areas. These equations also have steady state solutions in which the flux gradients are nonzero but exactly balanced by the ...

A Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Three-Dimensional Shallow Water Equations

We describe the application of a local discontinuous Galerkin method to the numerical solution of the three-dimensional shallow water equations. The shallow water equations are used to model surface water flows where the hydrostatic pressure assumption is valid. The authors recently developed a DGmethod for the depth-integrated shallow water equations. The method described here is an extension ...

A wetting and drying treatment for the Runge–Kutta discontinuous Galerkin solution to the shallow water equations

This paper proposes a wetting and drying treatment for the piecewise linear Runge–Kutta discontinuous Galerkin approximation to the shallow water equations. The method takes a fixed mesh approach as opposed to mesh adaptation techniques and applies a post-processing operator to ensure the positivity of the mean water depth within each finite element. In addition, special treatments are applied ...

A Hybridized Crouziex-Raviart Nonconforming Finite Element and Discontinuous Galerkin Method for a Two-Phase Flow in the Porous Media

In this study, we present a numerical solution for the two-phase incompressible flow in the porous media under isothermal condition using a hybrid of the linear lower-order nonconforming finite element and the interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. This hybridization is developed for the first time in the two-phase modeling and considered as the main novelty of this research.The p...

Positivity-Preserving Well-Balanced Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for the Shallow Water Equations on Unstructured Triangular Meshes

The shallow water equations model flows in rivers and coastal areas and have wide applications in ocean, hydraulic engineering, and atmospheric modeling. In [36], the authors constructed high order discontinuous Galerkin methods for the shallow water equations which can maintain the still water steady state exactly, and at the same time can preserve the nonnegativity of the water height without...
