A conservative Eulerian-Lagrangian Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method for linear hyperbolic system with large time stepping (Q6123344)

In this paper, a conservative semi-discrete Eulerian-Lagrangian (EL) Runge-Kutta (RK) discontinuous Galerkin (DG) (ELDG) method is developed by decomposing each variable into two parts, each of them associated with a different characteristic family. As a result, four different quantities are evolved in EL fashion and recombined to update the solution. The fully discrete scheme is formulated by using method-of-lines RK methods, with intermediate RK solutions updated on the background mesh. Each variable is decomposed into two parts, each of which is associated with different characteristic families. As a result, four different quantities are evolved in EL fashion and are recombined to update the solution. The fully discrete scheme is formulated by using method-of-lines RK methods, with intermediate RK solutions updated on the background mesh. For 2D hyperbolic systems, the dimensional splitting method is used. Numerical results for 1D and 2D wave equations are presented to demonstrate the high-order spatial and temporal accuracy, stability with extra large time stepping size, and conservative property of ELDG method.
