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

چکیده
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 in the numerical flux computation to prevent an instability due to excessive drying. The proposed wetting and drying treatment is verified through comparisons with exact solutions and convergence rates are examined. The obtained orders of convergence are close to or approximately equal to 1 for solutions with discontinuities and are improved for smooth solutions. The combination of the proposed wetting and drying treatment and a TVB slope limiter is also tested and is found to be applicable on condition that they are applied exclusively to an element at the same Runge–Kutta step. 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Locally Limited and Fully Conserved RKDG2 Shallow Water Solutions with Wetting and Drying
This work extends a well-balanced second-order Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG2) scheme to provide conservative simulations for shallow flows involving wetting and drying over irregular topographies with friction effects. For this purpose, a wetting and drying technique designed originally for a finite volume (FV) scheme is improved and implemented, which includes the discretization of...

In this paper, dynamic p-adaptive Runge–Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) methods for the twodimensional shallow water equations (SWE) are investigated. The p-adaptive algorithm that is implemented dynamically adjusts the order of the elements of an unstructured triangular grid based on a simple measure of the local flow properties of the numerical solution.

متن کاملNotes on RKDG Methods for Shallow-Water Equations in Canal Networks
PDE models for network flows are used in a number of different applications, including modeling of water channel networks. While the theory and first-order numerics are well developed, high-order schemes are not well developed. We propose a Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method as an efficient, effective and compact numerical approach for numerical simulations of 1-D models for water flow i...
