Discontinuous/continuous Galerkin methods for coupling the primitive and wave continuity equations of shallow water
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate a new approach for the numerical solution of the two-dimensional depth-integrated shallow water equations, based on coupling discontinuous and continuous Galerkin methods. In this approach, we couple a discontinuous Galerkin method applied to the primitive continuity equation, coupled to a continuous Galerkin method applied to the so-called ‘‘wave continuity equation.’’ The formulation is derived and a priori error estimates are given. Preliminary numerical results for a simple model of flow in a channel are presented. 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Two-dimensional dispersion analyses of nite element approximations to the shallow water equations
Dispersion analysis of discrete solutions to the shallow water equations has been extensively used as a tool to de ne the relationships between frequency and wave number and to determine if an algorithm leads to a dual wave number response and near 2 x oscillations. In this paper, we explore the application of two-dimensional dispersion analysis to cluster based and Galerkin nite element-based ...
متن کاملHybridized Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Linearized Shallow Water Equations
We present a systematic and constructive methodology to devise various hybridized discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) methods for linearized shallow water equations. At the heart of our development is an upwind HDG framework obtained by hybridizing the upwind flux in the standard discontinuous Galerkin (DG) approach. The chief idea is to first break the uniqueness of the upwind flux across element bou...
متن کاملNodal High-Order Discontinuous GalerkinMethods for the Spherical ShallowWater Equations
We develop and evaluate a high-order discontinuous Galerkin method for the solution of the shallow water equations on the sphere. To overcome well known problems with polar singularities, we consider the shallow water equations in Cartesian coordinates, augmented with a Lagrange multiplier to ensure that fluid particles are constrained to the spherical surface. The global solutions are represen...
متن کاملA Performance Comparison of Continuous and Discontinuous Finite Element Shallow Water Models
We present a comparative study of two finite element shallow water equation (SWE) models: a generalized wave continuity equation based continuous Galerkin (CG) model—an approach used by several existing SWE models—and a recently developed discontinuous Galerkin (DG) model. While DG methods are known to possess a number of favorable properties, such as local mass conservation, one commonly cited...
متن کاملWell-balanced r-adaptive and moving mesh space-time discontinuous Galerkin method for the shallow water equations
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 m...
