Abstract: In this paper we propose a method to solve the Kadomtsev--Petviashvili equation based on splitting the linear part of the equation from the nonlinear part. The linear part is treated using FFTs, while the nonlinear part is approximated using a semi-Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin approach of arbitrary order. We demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the numerical method by providing a range of numerical simulations. In particular, we find that our approach can outperform the numerical methods considered in the literature by up to a factor of five. Although we focus on the Kadomtsev--Petviashvili equation in this paper, the proposed numerical scheme can be extended to a range of related models as well.
