Furthermore, when Ο 0 β L β (β¦), the whole sequence is shown to be strongly convergent. This is the first convergence result in numeri

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper we introduce a high-order discontinuous Galerkin method for twodimensional incompressible flow in the vorticity stream-function formulation. The momentum equation is treated explicitly, utilizing the efficiency of the discontinuous Galerkin method. The stream function is obtained by a standard Poisson solver using continuous finite elements. There is a natural matching between these two finite element spaces, since the normal component of the velocity field is continuous across element boundaries. This allows for a correct upwinding gluing in the discontinuous Galerkin framework, while still maintaining total energy conservation with no numerical dissipation and total enstrophy stability. The method is efficient for inviscid or high Reynolds number flows. Optimal error estimates are proved and verified by numerical experiments.

This paper is devoted to the use of discontinuous Galerkin methods to solve hyperbolic conservation laws. The emphasis is laid on the elaboration of slope limiters to enforce nonlinear stability for shock-capturing. The objectives are to derive problem-independent methods that maintain high-order of
