A Discontinuous Galerkin Method for a Model of Population Dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a model of population dynamics whose mortality function is unbounded. We approximate the solution of the model using a discontinuous Galerkin finite element for the age variable and a backward Euler for the time variable. We present several numerical examples. It is experimentally shown that the scheme converges at the rate of h3/2 in the case of piecewise linear polynomial space.

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...
متن کاملA 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 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...
متن کاملElement free Galerkin method for crack analysis of orthotropic plates
A new approach for analyzing cracked problems in 2D orthotropic materials using the well-known element free Galerkin method and orthotropic enrichment functions is proposed. The element free Galerkin method is a meshfree method which enables discontinuous problems to be modeled efficiently. In this study, element free Galerkin is extrinsically enriched by the recently developed crack-tip orthot...
متن کاملDiscontinuous-galerkin Methods for a Kinetic Model of Self-organized Dynamics
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 dr...
