A structure-preserving split finite element discretization of the split wave equations
We introduce a new finite element (FE) discretization framework applicable for covariant split equations. The introduction of additional differential forms (DF) that form pairs with the original ones permits the splitting of the equations into topological momentum and continuity equations and metric-dependent closure equations that apply the Hodge-star operator. Our discretization framework conserves this geometrical structure and provides for all DFs proper FE spaces such that the differential operators hold in strong form. We introduce lowest possible order discretizations of the split 1D wave equations, in which the discrete momentum and continuity equations follow by trivial projections onto piecewise constant FE spaces, omitting partial integrations. Approximating the Hodge-star by nontrivial Galerkin projections (GP), the two discrete metric equations follow by projections onto either the piecewise constant (GP0) or piecewise linear (GP1) space. Our framework gives us three schemes with significantly different behavior. The split scheme using twice GP1 is unstable and shares the dispersion relation with the P1-P1 FE scheme that approximates both variables by piecewise linear spaces (P1). The split schemes that apply a mixture of GP1 and GP0 share the dispersion relation with the stable P1-P0 FE scheme that applies piecewise linear and piecewise constant (P0) spaces. However, the split schemes exhibit second order convergence for both quantities of interest. For the split scheme applying twice GP0, we are not aware of a corresponding standard formulation to compare with. Though it does not provide a satisfactory approximation of the dispersion relation as short waves are propagated much too fast, the discovery of the new scheme illustrates the potential of our discretization framework as a toolbox to study and find FE schemes by new combinations of FE spaces
On discretely entropy conservative and entropy stable discontinuous Galerkin methods
High order methods based on diagonal-norm summation by parts operators can be
shown to satisfy a discrete conservation or dissipation of entropy for
nonlinear systems of hyperbolic PDEs. These methods can also be interpreted as
nodal discontinuous Galerkin methods with diagonal mass matrices. In this work,
we describe how use flux differencing, quadrature-based projections, and
SBP-like operators to construct discretely entropy conservative schemes for DG
methods under more arbitrary choices of volume and surface quadrature rules.
The resulting methods are semi-discretely entropy conservative or entropy
stable with respect to the volume quadrature rule used. Numerical experiments
confirm the stability and high order accuracy of the proposed methods for the
compressible Euler equations in one and two dimensions
Energy preserving model order reduction of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation
An energy preserving reduced order model is developed for two dimensional
nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLSE) with plane wave solutions and with an
external potential. The NLSE is discretized in space by the symmetric interior
penalty discontinuous Galerkin (SIPG) method. The resulting system of
Hamiltonian ordinary differential equations are integrated in time by the
energy preserving average vector field (AVF) method. The mass and energy
preserving reduced order model (ROM) is constructed by proper orthogonal
decomposition (POD) Galerkin projection. The nonlinearities are computed for
the ROM efficiently by discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM) and
dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). Preservation of the semi-discrete energy and
mass are shown for the full order model (FOM) and for the ROM which ensures the
long term stability of the solutions. Numerical simulations illustrate the
preservation of the energy and mass in the reduced order model for the two
dimensional NLSE with and without the external potential. The POD-DMD makes a
remarkable improvement in computational speed-up over the POD-DEIM. Both
methods approximate accurately the FOM, whereas POD-DEIM is more accurate than
the POD-DMD
Adaptive Energy Preserving Methods for Partial Differential Equations
A method for constructing first integral preserving numerical schemes for
time-dependent partial differential equations on non-uniform grids is
presented. The method can be used with both finite difference and partition of
unity approaches, thereby also including finite element approaches. The schemes
are then extended to accommodate -, - and -adaptivity. The method is
applied to the Korteweg-de Vries equation and the Sine-Gordon equation and
results from numerical experiments are presented.Comment: 27 pages; some changes to notation and figure
