چکیده

In this work, algorithmicmodifications are proposed and analyzed for a recently developed stabilized finite strain Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. The distinguishing feature of the original method, referred to as VMDG, is a consistently derived expression for the numerical flux and stability tensor that account for evolving material and geometric nonlinearity in the vicinity of the interface. Herein, the proposed modifications involve simplifications to the residual force vector and tangent stiffness matrix of the VMDG method that lead to formulations similar to other existing DG methods but retain the enhanced definition for the stability parameters. The primary objective is to reduce the costs associated with implementing the method as well as executing simulations while retaining accuracy and flexibility, thereby making the formulation amenable to boarder material classes such as inelasticity. Each simplification has associated implications on the mathematical and algorithmic properties of the method, such as L2 convergence rate, solution accuracy, continuity enforcement, and stability of the nonlinear equation solver. These implications are carefully quantified and assessed through a comprehensive numerical performance study. The range of two and three dimensional problems under consideration involves both isotropic and anisotropic materials. Both triangular and quadrilateral element types are employed along with h and p refinement. The ability of the proposedmethods to produce stable and accurate results for such a broad class of problems is highlighted. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A Hybridized Crouziex-Raviart Nonconforming Finite Element and Discontinuous Galerkin Method for a Two-Phase Flow in the Porous Media

In this study, we present a numerical solution for the two-phase incompressible flow in the porous media under isothermal condition using a hybrid of the linear lower-order nonconforming finite element and the interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. This hybridization is developed for the first time in the two-phase modeling and considered as the main novelty of this research.The p...

High order exactly divergence-free Hybrid Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for unsteady incompressible flows

In this paper we present an efficient discretization method for the solution of the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations based on a high order (Hybrid) Discontinuous Galerkin formulation. The crucial component for the efficiency of the discretization method is the disctinction between stiff linear parts and less stiff non-linear parts with respect to their temporal and spatial treatm...

Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Convection-Dominated Problems

In this paper, we review the development of the Runge–Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) methods for non-linear convection-dominated problems. These robust and accurate methods have made their way into the main stream of computational fluid dynamics and are quickly finding use in a wide variety of applications. They combine a special class of Runge–Kutta time discretizations, that allows the m...

Final Report of NASA Langley Grant NCC1-01035 Relaxation and Preconditioning for High Order Discontinuous Galerkin Methods with Applications to Aeroacoustics and High Speed Flows

methods are two classes of high order, high resolution methods suitable for convection dominated simulations with possible discontinuous or sharp gradient solutions. In [18], we first review these two classes of methods, pointing out their similarities and differences in algorithm formulation, theoretical properties, implementation issues, applicability, and relative advantages. We then present...
