This paper studies high-order accurate entropy stable nodal discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes for the ideal special relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD). It is built on the modified RMHD equations with a particular source term, which is analogous to the Powells eight-wave formulation and can be symmetrized so that an entropy pair is obtained. We design an affordable fully consistent two-point entropy conservative flux, which is not only consistent with the physical flux, but also maintains the zero parallel magnetic component, and then construct high-order accurate semi-discrete entropy stable DG schemes based on the quadrature rules and the entropy conservative and stable fluxes. They satisfy the semidiscrete entropy inequality for the given entropy pair and are integrated in time by using the high-order explicit strong stability preserving Runge-Kutta schemes to get further the fully-discrete nodal DG schemes. Extensive numerical tests are conducted to validate the accuracy and the ability to capture discontinuities of our schemes. Moreover, our entropy conservative flux is compared to an existing flux through some numerical tests. The results show that the zero parallel magnetic component in the numerical flux can help to decrease the error in the parallel magnetic component in one-dimensional tests, but two entropy conservative fluxes give similar results since the error in the magnetic field divergence seems dominated in the two-dimensional tests.
This paper develops the high-order accurate entropy stable (ES) finite difference schemes for the shallow water magnetohydrodynamic (SWMHD) equations.They are built on the numerical approximation of the modified SWMHD equations with the Janhunen source term. First, the second-order accurate well-balanced semi-discrete entropy conservative (EC) schemes are constructed, satisfying the entropy identity for the given convex entropy function and preserving the steady states of the lake at rest (with zero magnetic field). The key is to match both discretizations for the fluxes and the non-flat river bed bottom and Janhunen source terms, and to find the affordable EC fluxes of the second-order EC schemes. Next, by using the second-order EC schemes as building block, high-order accurate well-balanced semi-discrete EC schemes are proposed. Then, the high-order accurate well-balanced semi-discrete ES schemes %satisfying the entropy inequality are derived by adding a suitable dissipation term to the EC scheme with the WENO reconstruction of the scaled entropy variables in order to suppress the numerical oscillations of the EC schemes. After that, the semi-discrete schemes are integrated in time by using the high-order strong stability preserving explicit Runge-Kutta schemes to obtain the fully-discrete high-order well-balanced schemes. The ES property of the Lax-Friedrichs flux is also proved and then the positivity-preserving ES schemes are studied by using the positivity-preserving flux limiter. Finally, extensive numerical tests are conducted to validate the accuracy, the well-balanced, ES and positivity-preserving properties, and the ability to capture discontinuities of our schemes.
This paper develops high-order accurate entropy stable (ES) adaptive moving mesh finite difference schemes for the two- and three-dimensional special relativistic hydrodynamic (RHD) and magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) equations, which is the high-order accurate extension of [J.M. Duan and H.Z. Tang, Entropy stable adaptive moving mesh schemes for 2D and 3D special relativistic hydrodynamics, J. Comput. Phys., 426(2021), 109949]. The key point is the derivation of the higher-order accurate entropy conservative (EC) and ES finite difference schemes in the curvilinear coordinates by carefully dealing with the discretization of the temporal and spatial metrics and the Jacobian of the coordinate transformation and constructing the high-order EC and ES fluxes with the discrete metrics. The spatial derivatives in the source terms of the symmetrizable RMHD equations and the geometric conservation laws are discretized by using the linear combinations of the corresponding second-order case to obtain high-order accuracy. Based on the proposed high-order accurate EC schemes and the high-order accurate dissipation terms built on the WENO reconstruction, the high-order accurate ES schemes are obtained for the RHD and RMHD equations in the curvilinear coordinates. The mesh iteration redistribution or adaptive moving mesh strategy is built on the minimization of the mesh adaption functional. Several numerical tests are conducted to validate the shock-capturing ability and high efficiency of our high-order accurate ES adaptive moving mesh methods on the parallel computer system with the MPI communication. The numerical results show that the high-order accurate ES adaptive moving mesh schemes outperform both their counterparts on the uniform mesh and the second-order ES adaptive moving mesh schemes.
This paper develops the high-order accurate entropy stable finite difference schemes for one- and two-dimensional special relativistic hydrodynamic equations. The schemes are built on the entropy conservative flux and the weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) technique as well as explicit Runge-Kutta time discretization. The key is to technically construct the affordable entropy conservative flux of the semi-discrete second-order accurate entropy conservative schemes satisfying the semi-discrete entropy equality for the found convex entropy pair. As soon as the entropy conservative flux is derived, the dissipation term can be added to give the semi-discrete entropy stable schemes satisfying the semi-discrete entropy inequality with the given convex entropy function. The WENO reconstruction for the scaled entropy variables and the high-order explicit Runge-Kutta time discretization are implemented to obtain the fully-discrete high-order schemes. Several numerical tests are conducted to validate the accuracy and the ability to capture discontinuities of our entropy stable schemes.
We prove that the most common filtering procedure for nodal discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods is stable. The proof exploits that the DG approximation is constructed from polynomial basis functions and that integrals are approximated with high-order accurate Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto quadrature. The theoretical discussion serves to re-contextualize stable filtering results for finite difference methods into the DG setting. It is shown that the stability of the filtering is equivalent to a particular contractivity condition borrowed from the analysis of so-called transmission problems. As such, the temporal stability proof relies on the fact that the underlying spatial discretization of the problem possesses a semi-discrete bound on the solution. Numerical tests are provided to verify and validate the underlying theoretical results.
We present unconditionally energy stable Runge-Kutta (RK) discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes for solving a class of fourth order gradient flows. Our algorithm is geared toward arbitrarily high order approximations in both space and time, while energy dissipation remains preserved without imposing any restriction on time steps and meshes. We achieve this in two steps. First, taking advantage of the penalty free DG method introduced by Liu and Yin [J Sci. Comput. 77:467--501, 2018] for spatial discretization, we reformulate an extended linearized ODE system by the energy quadratization (EQ) approach. Second, we apply an s-stage algebraically stable RK method for temporal discretization. The resulting fully discrete DG schemes are linear and unconditionally energy stable. In addition, we introduce a prediction-correction procedure to improve both the accuracy and stability of the scheme. We illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes by numerical tests with benchmark problems.
