Finite Element, Discontinuous Galerkin, and Finite Difference Evolution Schemes in Spacetime
نویسنده
چکیده
Numerical schemes for Einstein’s vacuum equation are developed. Einstein’s equation in harmonic gauge is second order symmetric hyperbolic. It is discretized in four-dimensional spacetime by Finite Differences, Finite Elements, and Interior Penalty Discontinuous Galerkin methods, the latter related to Regge calculus. The schemes are split into space and time and new time-stepping schemes for wave equations are derived. The methods are evaluated for linear and non-linear test problems of the Apples-with-Apples collection. PACS numbers: 04.25.D, 02.70.Bf, 02.70.Dh, 04.20.Fy

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...
متن کاملThe dynamical behavior of the discontinuous Galerkin method and related difference schemes
We study the dynamical behavior of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for initial value problems in ordinary differential equations. We make two different assumptions which guarantee that the continuous problem defines a dissipative dynamical system. We show that, under certain conditions, the discontinuous Galerkin approximation also defines a dissipative dynamical system and we ...
متن کاملAdaptive Unstructured Spacetime Meshing for Four-dimensional Spacetime Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Methods
We describe the spacetime discontinuous Galerkin method, a new type of finite-element method which promises dramatic improvement in solution speed for hyperbolic problems. These methods require the generation of spacetime meshes that satisfy a special causality constraint. This work focuses on the extension of the existing 2d×time spacetime meshing algorithm known as TentPitcher to 3d×time prob...
متن کاملEvolution Galerkin methods for hyperbolic systems in two space dimensions
The subject of the paper is the analysis of three new evolution Galerkin schemes for a system of hyperbolic equations, and particularly for the wave equation system. The aim is to construct methods which take into account all of the infinitely many directions of propagation of bicharacteristics. The main idea of the evolution Galerkin methods is the following: the initial function is evolved us...
متن کاملRiemann solutions for spacetime discontinuous Galerkin methods
Spacetime discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods [1–3] rely on ‘target fluxes’ on elementboundaries that are computed via local one-dimensional Riemann solutions in the direction normal toelement face. In this work, we demonstrate a generalized solution procedure for linearized hyperbolicsystems based on diagonalisation of the governing system of partial differential equa...
