✦ Synopsis

This paper presents a Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) method for viscous flow computation. The construction of the RKDG method is based on a gas-kinetic formulation, which not only couples the convective and dissipative terms together, but also includes both discontinuous and continuous representation in the flux evaluation at a cell interface through a simple hybrid gas distribution function. Due to the intrinsic connection between the gas-kinetic BGK model and the Navier-Stokes equations, the Navier-Stokes flux is automatically obtained by the present method. Numerical examples for both one dimensional (1D) and two dimensional (2D) compressible viscous flows are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and shock capturing capability of the current RKDG method.

This paper presents a Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) method for the Euler equations of gas dynamics from the viewpoint of kinetic theory. Like the traditional gas-kinetic schemes, our proposed RKDG method does not need to use the characteristic decomposition or the Riemann solver in compu

We present a new high-order method for the unsteady viscous MHD equations in two and three dimensions. The two main features of this method are: (1) the discontinuous Galerkin projections for both the advection and diffusion components, and (2) the polymorphic spectral/hp elements for unstructured a

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
