A discontinuous Galerkin method is applied to the shallow water equations written in a rotating frame of reference. Linear approximating functions are employed on each element. A minmod slope limiter is incorporated to ensure non-linear total variation bounded (TVB) stability. The method is first applied to the dam breaking problem with zero rotation to validate the numerical implementation. A rotating tank is then investigated with sinusoidal rotation. Results are computed with and without slope limiting to investigate the effect of slope limiting on the solution. The DG method is also compared to a first order Godunov method and to experimental data.

AbstractThis paper deals with the new algorithm of slope limiting in the Runge- Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) method. The slope limiting is applied at each intermediate step of the Runge-Kutta process to guarantee the monotonicity of the resulting RKDG scheme. The standard formulation of the RKDG method assumes a manual prescription of the special parameter used in the limiting procedure. Such definition of the limiter makes the method problem-dependent, which is disadvantageous for practical computations. A new problem-independent way of estimating the limiting parameter is proposed and its performance in the second- and third-order RKDG methods is studied in this paper.
