Maximum-principle-satisfying and positivity-preserving high order discontinuous Galerkin schemes for conservation laws on triangular meshes (Q421305)

An extension of higher order finite volume and discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes satisfying a strict maximum principle to triangular meshes is presented. Such an extension is highly nontrivial. In order to obtain a maximum principle satisfying the finite volume schemes or the discontinuous Galerkin method, a special quadrature rule is constructed. The same method can preserve the maximum principle for DG or finite volume schemes solving two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations in the vorticity stream-function formulation. Also the positivity preserving high order DG or finite volume schemes solving compressible Euler equations on triangular meshes are obtained. Numerical tests for the third order Runge-Kutta DG method on unstructured meshes are reported.
