Well-balanced r-adaptive and moving mesh space-time discontinuous Galerkin method for the shallow water equations
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article we introduce a well-balanced discontinuous Galerkin method for the shallow water equations on moving meshes. Particular emphasis will be given on r-adaptation in which mesh points of an initially uniform mesh move to concentrate in regions where interesting behaviour of the solution is observed. Obtaining well-balanced numerical schemes for the shallow water equations on fixed meshes is nontrivial and has been a topic of much research. In [S. Rhebergen, O. Bokhove, J.J.W. van der Vegt, Discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for hyperbolic nonconservative partial differential equations, J. Comput. Phys. 227 (2008) 1887–1922] we introduced a well-balanced discontinuous Galerkin method using the theory of weak solutions for nonconservative products introduced in [G. Dal Maso, P.G. LeFloch, F. Murat, Definition and weak stability of nonconservative products, J. Math. Pures Appl. 74 (1995) 483–548]. In this article we continue this approach and prove well-balancedness of a discontinuous Galerkin method for the shallow water equations on moving meshes. Numerical simulations are then performed to verify the r-adaptive method in combination with the spacetime discontinuous Galerkin method against analytical solutions and showing its robustness on more complex problems.

Entropy stability and well-balancedness of space-time DG for the shallow water equations with bottom topography
We describe a shock-capturing streamline diffusion space-time discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method to discretize the shallow water equations with variable bottom topography. This method, based on the entropy variables as degrees of freedom, is shown to be energy stable as well as well-balanced with respect to the lake at rest steady state. We present numerical experiments illustrating the numeric...

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 ...

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. Time discretization is accomplishe...

An entropy stable nodal discontinuous Galerkin method for the two dimensional shallow water equations on unstructured curvilinear meshes with discontinuous bathymetry
We design an arbitrary high order accurate nodal discontinuous Galerkin spectral element approximation for the nonlinear two dimensional shallow water equations with non-constant, possibly discontinuous, bathymetry on unstructured, possibly curved, quadrilateral meshes. The scheme is derived from a skew-symmetric formulation of the continuous problem. We prove that this discretisation exactly p...
