We deal with the numerical simulation of a motion of viscous compressible fluids. We discretize the governing Navier–Stokes equations by the backward difference formula – discontinuous Galerkin finite element (BDF-DGFE) method, which exhibits a sufficiently stable, efficient and accurate numerical scheme. The BDF-DGFE method requires a solution of one linear algebra system at each time step. In...

A general theory is given for discretized versions of the Galerkin method for solving Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The discretized Galerkin method is obtained from using numerical integration to evaluate the integrals occurring in the Galerkin method. The theoretical framework that is given parallels that of the regular Galerkin method, including the error analysis of the sup...

In this paper, we develop bound-preserving modified exponential Runge-Kutta (RK) discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes to solve scalar conservation laws with stiff source terms by extending the idea in Zhang and Shu [39]. Exponential strong stability preserving (SSP) high order time discretizations are constructed and then modified to overcome the stiffness and preserve the bound of the numerical...

A posteriori error estimation for conforming, non-conforming and discontinuous finite element schemes are discussed within a single framework. By dealing with three ostensibly different schemes under the same umbrella, the same common underlying principles at work in each case are highlighted leading to a clearer understanding of the issues involved. The ideas are presented in the context of pi...

Consider the problem− 2∆u+u = f with homogeneous Neumann boundary condition in a bounded smooth domain in RN . The whole range 0 < ≤ 1 is treated. The Galerkin finite element method is used on a globally quasi-uniform mesh of size h; the mesh is fixed and independent of . A precise analysis of how the error at each point depends on h and is presented. As an application, first order error estima...
