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
