The interaction of light with metallic nanostructures produces a collective excitation of electrons at the metal surface, also known as surface plasmons. These collective excitations lead to resonances that enable the confinement of light in deep-subwavelength regions, thereby leading to large near-field enhancements. The simulation of plasmon resonances presents notable challenges. From the modeling perspective, the realistic behavior of conduction-band electrons in metallic nanostructures is not captured by Maxwells equations, thus requiring additional modeling. From the simulation perspective, the disparity in length scales stemming from the extreme field localization demands efficient and accurate numerical methods. In this paper, we develop the hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method to solve Maxwells equations augmented with the hydrodynamic model for the conduction-band electrons in noble metals. This method enables the efficient simulation of plasmonic nanostructures while accounting for the nonlocal interactions between electrons and the incident light. We introduce a novel postprocessing scheme to recover superconvergent solutions and demonstrate the convergence of the proposed HDG method for the simulation of a 2D gold nanowire and a 3D periodic annular nanogap structure. The results of the hydrodynamic model are compared to those of a simplified local response model, showing that differences between them can be significant at the nanoscale.

In this paper, we develop a nested hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method to numerically solve the Maxwells equations coupled with the hydrodynamic model for the conduction-band electrons in metals. By means of a static condensation to elim
inate the degrees of freedom of the approximate solution defined in the elements, the HDG method yields a linear system in terms of the degrees of freedom of the approximate trace defined on the element boundaries. Furthermore, we propose to reorder these degrees of freedom so that the linear system accommodates a second static condensation to eliminate a large portion of the degrees of freedom of the approximate trace, thereby yielding a much smaller linear system. For the particular metallic structures considered in this paper, the resulting linear system obtained by means of nested static condensations is a block tridiagonal system, which can be solved efficiently. We apply the nested HDG method to compute the second harmonic generation (SHG) on a triangular coaxial periodic nanogap structure. This nonlinear optics phenomenon features rapid field variations and extreme boundary-layer structures that span multiple length scales. Numerical results show that the ability to identify structures which exhibit resonances at $omega$ and $2omega$ is paramount to excite the second harmonic response.
We present a parallel computing strategy for a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) nested geometric multigrid (GMG) solver. Parallel GMG solvers require a combination of coarse-grain and fine-grain parallelism to improve time to solution perfor
mance. In this work we focus on fine-grain parallelism. We use Intels second generation Xeon Phi (Knights Landing) many-core processor. The GMG method achieves ideal convergence rates of $0.2$ or less, for high polynomial orders. A matrix free (assembly free) technique is exploited to save considerable memory usage and increase arithmetic intensity. HDG enables static condensation, and due to the discontinuous nature of the discretization, we developed a matrix vector multiply routine that does not require any costly synchronizations or barriers. Our algorithm is able to attain 80% of peak bandwidth performance for higher order polynomials. This is possible due to the data locality inherent in the HDG method. Very high performance is realized for high order schemes, due to good arithmetic intensity, which declines as the order is reduced.
The high-order hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method combining with an implicit iterative scheme is used to find the steady-state solution of the Boltzmann equation with full collision integral on two-dimensional triangular meshes. The vel
ocity distribution function and its trace are approximated in the piecewise polynomial space of degree up to 4. The fast spectral method (FSM) is incorporated into the DG discretization to evaluate the collision operator. Specific polynomial approximation is proposed for the collision term to reduce the computational cost. The proposed scheme is proved to be accurate and efficient.
Gravitational wave emission from extreme mass ratio binaries (EMRBs) should be detectable by the joint NASA-ESA LISA project, spurring interest in analytical and numerical methods for investigating EMRBs. We describe a discontinuous Galerkin (dG) met
hod for solving the distributionally forced 1+1 wave equations which arise when modeling EMRBs via the perturbation theory of Schwarzschild blackholes. Despite the presence of jump discontinuities in the relevant polar and axial gravitational master functions, our dG method achieves global spectral accuracy, provided that we know the instantaneous position, velocity, and acceleration of the small particle. Here these variables are known, since we assume that the particle follows a timelike geodesic of the Schwarzschild geometry. We document the results of several numerical experiments testing our method, and in our concluding section discuss the possible inclusion of gravitational self-force effects.
Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods provide a means to obtain high-order accurate solutions in regions of smooth fluid flow while, with the aid of limiters, still resolving strong shocks. These and other properties make DG methods attractive for solv
ing problems involving hydrodynamics; e.g., the core-collapse supernova problem. With that in mind we are developing a DG solver for the general relativistic, ideal hydrodynamics equations under a 3+1 decomposition of spacetime, assuming a conformally-flat approximation to general relativity. With the aid of limiters we verify the accuracy and robustness of our code with several difficult test-problems: a special relativistic Kelvin--Helmholtz instability problem, a two-dimensional special relativistic Riemann problem, and a one- and two-dimensional general relativistic standing accretion shock (SAS) problem. We find good agreement with published results, where available. We also establish sufficient resolution for the 1D SAS problem and find encouraging results regarding the standing accretion shock instability (SASI) in 2D.
