Discontinuous-galerkin Methods for a Kinetic Model of Self-organized Dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with the numerical resolution of kinetic models for systems of self-propelled particles subject to alignment interaction and attraction-repulsion. We focus on the kinetic model considered in [18, 17] where alignment is taken into account in addition of an attraction-repulsion interaction potential. We apply a discontinuous Galerkin method for the free transport and non-local drift velocity together with a spectral method for the velocity variable. Then, we analyse consistency and stability of the semi-discrete scheme. We propose several numerical experiments which provide a solid validation of the method and its underlying concepts.

A Discontinuous Galerkin Method on Kinetic Flocking Models
We study kinetic representations of flocking models. They arise from agent-based models for self-organized dynamics, such as Cucker-Smale [5] and Motsch-Tadmor [11] models. We prove the flocking behavior for the kinetic descriptions of flocking systems, which indicates a concentration in velocity variable in infinite time. We propose a discontinuous Galerkin method to treat the asymptotic δ -si...

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 ...

Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) method is a high order finite element method for solving hyperbolic conservation laws employing useful features from high resolution finite volume schemes, such as the exact or approximate Riemann solvers serving as numerical fluxes, TVD Runge-Kutta time discretizations and limiters. In most of the RKDG papers in the literature, the LaxFriedrichs numeri...
متن کاملHigh Order Finite Difference and Finite Volume WENO Schemes and Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for CFD
In recent years high order numerical methods have been widely used in computational uid dynamics (CFD), to e ectively resolve complex ow features using meshes which are reasonable for today's computers. In this paper we review and compare three types of high order methods being used in CFD, namely the weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) nite di erence methods, the WENO nite volume metho...
