Formulation of discontinuous Galerkin methods for relativistic astrophysics
The DG algorithm is a powerful method for solving pdes, especially for evolution equations in conservation form. Since the algorithm involves integration over volume elements, it is not immediately obvious that it will generalize easily to arbitrary time-dependent curved spacetimes. We show how to formulate the algorithm in such spacetimes for applications in relativistic astrophysics. We also ...
متن کاملSpECTRE: A Task-based Discontinuous Galerkin Code for Relativistic Astrophysics
We introduce a new relativistic astrophysics code, SpECTRE, that combines a discontinuous Galerkin method with a task-based parallelism model. SpECTRE’s goal is to achieve more accurate solutions for challenging relativistic astrophysics problems such as core-collapse supernovae and binary neutron star mergers. The robustness of the discontinuous Galerkin method allows for the use of high-resol...
متن کاملDiscontinuous Galerkin Methods for Relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell System
The relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell (RVM) system is a kinetic model that describes the dynamics of plasma when the charged particles move in the relativistic regime and their collisions are not important. In this paper, we formulate and investigate discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods to solve the RVM system. When standard piecewise polynomial functions are used to define trial and test spaces, the ...
متن کاملBound-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...
متن کاملDiscontinuous Galerkin methods
This paper is a short essay on discontinuous Galerkin methods intended for a very wide audience.We present the discontinuous Galerkin methods and describe and discuss their main features. Since the methods use completely discontinuous approximations, they produce mass matrices that are block-diagonal. This renders the methods highly parallelizable when applied to hyperbolic problems. Another co...
