A hyperbolicity-preserving discontinuous stochastic Galerkin scheme for uncertain hyperbolic systems of equations (Q2297075)

The classical stochastic Galerkin (SG) method does preserve hyperbolicity of the underlying hyperbolic system in uncertainty quantification problems. The authors extend the hyperbolicity-preserving stochastic slope limiter in [\textit{L. Schlachter} and \textit{F. Schneider}, J. Comput. Phys. 375, 80--98 (2018; Zbl 1416.65033)]. The limiter is combined with the multi-element approach [\textit{X. Wan} and \textit{G. E. Karniadakis}, J. Comput. Phys. 209, No. 2, 617--642 (2005; Zbl 1078.65008)] to further decrease Gibbs oscillations and ensure a high-order approximation in both physical and stochastic space. The performance of the SG-DG approach is compared with the non-intrusive stochastic collocation method for a smooth solution. It is shown in less than three stochastic dimensions that the SG-DG method is proved to be more efficient than the stochastic collocation method. Furthermore, the SG-DG method is applied to different one- and two-dimensional Riemann problems for the compressible Euler equations with different uncertain initial states in multiple stochastic dimensions. The extensive numerical simulations show that the method is able to handle complex flow problems.
