An implementation of Runge-Kutta Discontinuous Galerkin method to an in-house computational fluid dynamics code capable of simulating blast waves was performed. The resultant code was tested for two shock tube problems with moderately and extremely strong discontinuities. Numerical solutions were compared with predictions of a finite volume method and exact solutions. It was observed that when there are extreme discontinuities in the flowfield, as in the case of blast waves, the limiter adopted for solution clearly affects the overall quality of the predictions. An alternative limiting technique was proposed and tested to improve the results obtained. Blast wave predictions using Runge-Kutta Discontinuous Galerkin method with the alternative limiting technique yielded slightly stronger and faster moving shock waves compared to finite volume solutions.

AbstractA discontinuous Galerkin method for the ideal 5 moment two-fluid plasma system is presented. The method uses a second or third order discontinuous Galerkin spatial discretization and a third order TVD Runge-Kutta time stepping scheme. The method is benchmarked against an analytic solution of a dispersive electron acoustic square pulse as well as the two-fluid electromagnetic shock [1] and existing numerical solutions to the GEM challenge magnetic reconnection problem [2]. The algorithm can be generalized to arbitrary geometries and three dimensions. An approach to maintaining small gauge errors based on error propagation is suggested.

AbstractIn this paper, we present an efficient computational methodology for diffusion and convection-diffusion problems in highly heterogeneous media as well as convection-dominated diffusion problem. It is well known that the numerical computation for these problems requires a significant amount of computer memory and time. Nevertheless, the solutions to these problems typically contain a coarse component, which is usually the quantity of interest and can be represented with a small number of degrees of freedom. There are many methods that aim at the computation of the coarse component without resolving the full details of the solution. Our proposed method falls into the framework of interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method, which is proved to be an effective and accurate class of methods for numerical solutions of partial differential equations. A distinctive feature of our method is that the solution space contains two components, namely a coarse space that gives a polynomial approximation to the coarse component in the traditional way and a multiscale space which contains sub-grid structures of the solution and is essential to the computation of the coarse component. In addition, stability of the method is proved. The numerical results indicate that the method can accurately capture the coarse behavior of the solution for problems in highly heterogeneous media as well as boundary and internal layers for convection-dominated problems.
