A Hermite WENO-based limiter for discontinuous Galerkin method on unstructured grids
A weighted essential non-oscillatory reconstruction scheme based on Hermite polynomials is developed and applied as a limiter for a discontinuous Galerkin finite element method on unstructured grids. The solution polynomials are reconstructed using a WENO scheme by taking advantage of handily available and yet valuable information, namely the derivatives, in the context of the discontinuous Gal...
متن کاملSimple finite element-based computation of distance functions in unstructured grids
A distance field is a representation of the closest distance from a point to a given surface. Distance fields are widely used in applications ranging from computer vision, physics and computer graphics and have been the subject of research of many authors in the last decade. Most of the methods for computing distance fields are devoted to Cartesian grids while little attention has been paid to ...
متن کاملMimetic finite difference methods for diffusion equations ∗
This paper reviews and extends the theory and application of mimetic finite difference methods for the solution of diffusion problems in strongly heterogeneous anisotropic materials. These difference operators satisfy the fundamental identities, conservation laws and theorems of vector and tensor calculus on nonorthogonal, nonsmooth, structured and unstructured computational grids. We provide e...
متن کاملSimulation of Electrophysiological Waves with an Unstructured Finite Element Method
Bidomain models are commonly used for studying and simulating electrophysiological waves in the cardiac tissue. Most of the time, the associated PDEs are solved using explicit finite difference methods on structured grids. We propose an implicit finite element method using unstructured grids for an anisotropic bidomain model. The impact and numerical requirements of unstructured grid methods is...
متن کاملHigh-Order Accurate Discontinuous Finite Element Solution of the 2D Euler Equations
This paper deals with a high-order accurate discontinuous finite element method for the numerical solution of the Euler equations. The method combines two key ideas which are at the basis of the finite volume and of the finite element method, the physics of wave propagation being accounted for by means of Riemann problems and accuracy being obtained by means of high-order polynomial approximati...
