Laplacian Abelian Projection: Abelian dominance and Monopole dominance

A comparative study of Abelian and Monopole dominance in the Laplacian and Maximally Abelian projected gauges is carried out. Clear evidence for both types of dominance is obtained for the Laplacian projection. Surprisingly, the evidence is much more ambiguous in the Maximally Abelian gauge. This is attributed to possible ``long-distance imperfections'' in the maximally abelian gauge fixing.Comment: LATTICE98(confine), 3 page

Generalized Reed-Muller codes and curves with many points

The weight hierarchy of generalized Reed-Muller codes over arbitrary finite fields was determined by Heijnen and Pellikaan. In this paper we produce curves over finite fields with many points which are closely related to this weight hierarchy.Comment: Plain Tex, 11 page

Space-time discontinuous Galerkin method for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations on deforming meshes

An overview is given of a space-time discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. This method is well suited for problems with moving (free) boundaries which require the use of deforming elements. In addition, due to the local discretization, the space-time discontinuous Galerkin method is well suited for mesh adaptation and parallel computing. The algorithm is demonstrated with computations of the unsteady \ud ow field about a delta wing and a NACA0012 airfoil in rapid pitch up motion

Space-time discontinuous Galerkin finite element method with dynamic grid motion for inviscid compressible flows. Part I. General formulation

A new space-time discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the solution of the Euler equations of gas dynamics in time-dependent flow domains is presented. The discontinuous Galerkin discretization results in an efficient element-wise conservative upwind finite element method, which is particularly well suited for local mesh refinement. The upwind scheme uses a formulation of the HLLC flux applicable to moving meshes and several formulations for the stabilization operator to ensure monotone solutions around discontinuities are investigated. The non-linear equations of the space-time discretization are solved using a multigrid accelerated pseudo-time integration technique with an optimized Runge-Kutta method. The linear stability of the pseudo-time integration method is investigated for the linear advection equation. The numerical scheme is demonstrated with simulations of the flow field in a shock tube, a channel with a bump, and an oscillating NACA 0012 airfoil. These simulations show that the accuracy of the numerical discretization is $O(h^{5/2})$ in space for smooth subsonic flows, both on structured and locally refined meshes, and that the space-time adaptation can significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of the numerical method. \u
