Discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for hyperbolic nonconservative partial differential equations
We present spaceand space-time discontinuous Galerkin finite element (DGFEM) formulations for systems containing nonconservative products, such as occur in dispersed multiphase flow equations. The main criterium we pose on the formulation is that if the system of nonconservative partial differential equations can be transformed into conservative form, then the formulation must reduce to that fo...
متن کاملDiscontinuous Galerkin finite element differential calculus and applications to numerical solutions of linear and nonlinear partial differential equations
This paper develops a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element differential calculus theory for approximating weak derivatives of Sobolev functions and piecewise Sobolev functions. By introducing numerical one-sided derivatives as building blocks, various first and second order numerical operators such as the gradient, divergence, Hessian, and Laplacian operator are defined, and their corresp...
متن کاملConstructively well-posed approximation methods with unity inf-sup and continuity constants for partial differential equations
Starting from the generalized Lax-Milgram theorem and from the fact that the approximation error is minimized when the continuity and inf– sup constants are unity, we develop a theory that provably delivers well-posed approximation methods with unity continuity and inf–sup constants for numerical solution of linear partial differential equations. We demonstrate our single-framework theory on sc...
متن کاملA discontinuous Galerkin method for the Cahn-Hilliard equation
A discontinuous Galerkin finite element method has been developed to treat the high-order spatial derivatives appearing in the Cahn–Hilliard equation. The Cahn–Hilliard equation is a fourth-order nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation, originally proposed to model phase segregation of binary alloys. The developed discontinuous Galerkin approach avoids the need for mixed finite elemen...
متن کاملMultisymplecticity of hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin methods
In this paper, we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method to satisfy a multisymplectic conservation law, when applied to a canonical Hamiltonian system of partial differential equations. We show that these conditions are satisfied by the “hybridized” versions of several of the most commonly-used finite element methods, including mixed, no...
