Entropy stable shock capturing space-time discontinuous Galerkin schemes for systems of conservation laws (Q2436538): Difference between revisions

An entropy stable space-time discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for systems of conservation laws is analyzed and proposed. The degrees of freedom are in terms of the entropy variables and the numerical flux functions are the entropy stable finite volume fluxes. Entropy stability of the (formally) arbitrarily high-order accurate method for a general system of conservation laws and the proof that the approximate solutions converge to the entropy measure-valued solutions for nonlinear systems of conservation laws, are presented. Convergence to entropy solutions for scalar conservation laws and for linear symmetrizable systems is also shown. Implementation details and numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the robustness of the proposed schemes.
