✦ Synopsis

We formulate and present a stability analysis for the local discontinuous Galerkin method applied to a model of three-dimensional shallow water flow. This model is described by the Navier-Stokes equations, assuming hydrostatic pressure. The resulting system of equations is given by momentum equations for the x and y components of velocity, the continuity equation, which is used to solve for the vertical component of velocity, and an equation describing the motion of the free surface. Our analysis includes the full nonlinearities in the model with no simplifying assumptions and accounts for the movement of the mesh due to the free surface. To our knowledge this is the first analysis of any numerical scheme for this complex system of equations. Numerical results are presented which demonstrate the accuracy of the method for a problem with a known analytical solution.

We present a high-order discontinuous Galerkin method for the solution of the shallow water equations on the sphere. To overcome well-known problems with polar singularities, we consider the shallow water equations in Cartesian coordinates, augmented with a Lagrange multiplier to ensure that fluid p

In this paper, we review the development of the so-called local discontinuous Galerkin method for linearized incompressible fluid flow. This is a stable, high-order accurate and locally conservative finite element method whose approximate solution is discontinuous across inter-element boundaries; th
