High Order Asymptotic Preserving DG-IMEX Schemes for Discrete-Velocity Kinetic Equations in a Diffusive Scaling
In this paper, we develop a family of high order asymptotic preserving
schemes for some discrete-velocity kinetic equations under a diffusive scaling,
that in the asymptotic limit lead to macroscopic models such as the heat
equation, the porous media equation, the advection-diffusion equation, and the
viscous Burgers equation. Our approach is based on the micro-macro
reformulation of the kinetic equation which involves a natural decomposition of
the equation to the equilibrium and non-equilibrium parts. To achieve high
order accuracy and uniform stability as well as to capture the correct
asymptotic limit, two new ingredients are employed in the proposed methods:
discontinuous Galerkin spatial discretization of arbitrary order of accuracy
with suitable numerical fluxes; high order globally stiffly accurate
implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta scheme in time equipped with a properly chosen
implicit-explicit strategy. Formal asymptotic analysis shows that the proposed
scheme in the limit of epsilon -> 0 is an explicit, consistent and high order
discretization for the limiting equation. Numerical results are presented to
demonstrate the stability and high order accuracy of the proposed schemes
together with their performance in the limit
Analysis of a space--time hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin method for the advection--diffusion problem on time-dependent domains
This paper presents the first analysis of a space--time hybridizable
discontinuous Galerkin method for the advection--diffusion problem on
time-dependent domains. The analysis is based on non-standard local trace and
inverse inequalities that are anisotropic in the spatial and time steps. We
prove well-posedness of the discrete problem and provide a priori error
estimates in a mesh-dependent norm. Convergence theory is validated by a
numerical example solving the advection--diffusion problem on a time-dependent
domain for approximations of various polynomial degree
