The paper is concerned with the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the numerical solution of nonlinear conservation laws and nonlinear convection-diffusion problems with emphasis on applications to the simulation of compressible flows. We discuss two versions of this method: (a) Finite volume discontinuous Galerkin method, which is a generalization of the combined finite volume—fi...

The Source Galerkin method finds approximate solutions to the functional differential equations of field theories in the presence of external sources. While developing this process, it was recognized that approximations of the spectral representations of the Green’s functions by Sinc function expansions are an extremely powerful calculative tool. Specifically, this understanding makes it not on...

We extend the results on minimal stabilization of Burman and Stamm (”Minimal stabilization of discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for hyperbolic problems”, J. Sci. Comp., DOI: 10.1007/s10915-007-9149-5) to the case of the local discontinuous Galerkin methods on mixed form. The penalization term on the faces is relaxed to act only on a part of the polynomial spectrum. Stability in the ...

This paper presents a wavelet Galerkin scheme for the fast solution of boundary integral equations. Wavelet Galerkin schemes employ appropriate wavelet bases for the discretization of boundary integral operators. This yields quasi-sparse system matrices which can be compressed to O(NJ) relevant matrix entries without compromising the accuracy of the underlying Galerkin scheme. Herein, O(NJ) den...

Abstract. We present and analyze a subgrid viscosity Lagrange-Galerkin method that combines the subgrid eddy viscosity method proposed in W. Layton, A connection between subgrid scale eddy viscosity and mixed methods. Appl. Math. Comp., 133: 147-157, 2002, and a conventional Lagrange-Galerkin method in the framework of P1⊕ cubic bubble finite elements. This results in an efficient and easy to i...

Maximum principle or positivity-preserving property holds for many mathematical 5 models. When the models are approximated numerically, it is preferred that these important prop6 erties can be preserved by numerical discretizations for the robustness and the physical relevance of 7 the approximate solutions. In this paper, we investigate such discretizations of high order accuracy 8 within the ...

We study the dynamical behavior of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for initial value problems in ordinary differential equations. We make two different assumptions which guarantee that the continuous problem defines a dissipative dynamical system. We show that, under certain conditions, the discontinuous Galerkin approximation also defines a dissipative dynamical system and we ...

Consideration is given to the free drainage of an Oldroyd four-constant liquid from a vertical porous surface. The governing systems of quasilinear partial differential equations are solved by the Fourier-Galerkin spectral method. It is shown that Fourier-Galerkin approximations are convergent with spectral accuracy. An efficient and accurate algorithm based on the Fourier-Galerkin approximatio...

The focus of this effort is to produce a two dimensional inviscid, compressible flow solver using the Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element approach. The Discontinuous Galerkin method seeks to project the exact solution onto a finite polynomial space while allowing for discontinuities at cell interfaces. This allows for the natural discontinuity capture that is required for a compressible flow ...
