A new immersed boundary method is presented, and this method employs the adaptive Cartesian grid to improve the adaptability to complex shapes and the immersed boundary to increase computational e ciency. The new immersed boundary method employs different boundary cells(the physical cell and ghost cell) to impose the boundary condition and the reconstruction algorithm of the ghost cell is the key for this method. The classical model elliptic equation is used to test the method. This method is tested and analyzed from the viewpoints of boundary cell type, error distribution and accuracy. The numerical result shows that the presented method has low error and a good rate of the convergence and works well in complex geometries. The method has good prospect for practical application research of the numerical calculation research.展开更多

The Allen-Cahn equation has been widely used in mathematical models for problems in materials science and fluid dynamics. It enjoys the energy stability and the maximum-principle. Moreover, it is well known that the Allen- Cahn equation may yield thin interface layer, and nonuniform meshes might be useful in the numerical solutions. Therefore, we apply the local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method due to its flexibility on h-p adaptivity and complex geometry. However, the MPP LDG methods require slope limiters, then the energy stability may not be easy to obtain. In this paper, we only discuss the MPP technique and use numerical experiments to dem-onstrate the energy decay property. Moreover, due to the stiff source given in the equation, we use the conservative modified exponential Runge-Kutta methods and thus can use rela-tively large time step sizes. Thanks to the conservative time integration, the bounds of the unknown function will not decay. Numerical experiments will be given to demonstrate the good performance of the MPP LDG scheme.展开更多

Optimal error estimates are obtained for both the semi-discrete and fully discrete local discontinuous Galerkin （LDG） schemes with smooth solutions.

Since the basis functions can be discontinuous, these methods have the flexibilitywhich is not shared by typical finite element methods, such as the allowance of ar-bitrary triangulation with hanging nodes, less restriction in changing the polynomialdegrees in each element independent of that in the neighbors (p adaptivity), and localdata structure and the resulting high parallel efficiency. In this paper, we give a generalreview of the local DG (LDG) methods for solving high-order time-dependent partialdifferential equations (PDEs). The important ingredient of the design of LDG schemes,namely the adequate choice of numerical fluxes, is highlighted. Some of the applica-tions of the LDG methods for high-order time-dependent PDEs are also be discussed.展开更多

文摘Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods are a class of finite element methodsusing discontinuous basis functions, which are usually chosen as piecewise polynomi-als. Since the basis functions can be discontinuous, these methods have the flexibilitywhich is not shared by typical finite element methods, such as the allowance of ar-bitrary triangulation with hanging nodes, less restriction in changing the polynomialdegrees in each element independent of that in the neighbors (p adaptivity), and localdata structure and the resulting high parallel efficiency. In this paper, we give a generalreview of the local DG (LDG) methods for solving high-order time-dependent partialdifferential equations (PDEs). The important ingredient of the design of LDG schemes,namely the adequate choice of numerical fluxes, is highlighted. Some of the applica-tions of the LDG methods for high-order time-dependent PDEs are also be discussed.
