This paper describes algorithms for non-relativistic hydrodynamics in the toolkit for high-order neutrino radiation hydrodynamics (thornado), which is being developed for multiphysics simulations of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) and related problems with Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) methods. More specifically, thornado employs a spectral type nodal collocation approximation, and we have extended limiters - a slope limiter to prevent non-physical oscillations and a bound-enforcing limiter to prevent non-physical states - from the standard RKDG framework to be able to accommodate a tabulated nuclear equation of state (EoS). To demonstrate the efficacy of the algorithms with a nuclear EoS, we first present numerical results from basic test problems in idealized settings in one and two spatial dimensions, employing Cartesian, spherical-polar, and cylindrical coordinates. Then, we apply the RKDG method to the problem of adiabatic collapse, shock formation, and shock propagation in spherical symmetry, initiated with a 15 solar mass progenitor. We find that the extended limiters improve the fidelity and robustness of the RKDG method in idealized settings. The bound-enforcing limiter improves robustness of the RKDG method in the adiabatic collapse application, while we find that slope limiting in characteristic fields is vulnerable to structures in the EoS - more specifically, in the phase transition from nuclei and nucleons to bulk nuclear matter. The success of these applications marks an important step toward applying RKDG methods to more realistic CCSN simulations with thornado in the future.

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.

This paper proposes and analyzes an ultra-weak local discontinuous Galerkin scheme for one-dimensional nonlinear biharmonic Schr{o}dinger equations. We develop the paradigm of the local discontinuous Galerkin method by introducing the second-order sp atial derivative as an auxiliary variable instead of the conventional first-order derivative. The proposed semi-discrete scheme preserves a few physically relevant properties such as the conservation of mass and the conservation of Hamiltonian accompanied by its stability for the targeted nonlinear biharmonic Schr{o}dinger equations. We also derive optimal $L^2$-error estimates of the scheme that measure both the solution and the auxiliary variable. Several numerical studies demonstrate and support our theoretical findings.

In this paper, we develop a well-balanced oscillation-free discontinuous Galerkin (OFDG) method for solving the shallow water equations with a non-flat bottom topography. One notable feature of the constructed scheme is the well-balanced property, wh ich preserves exactly the hydrostatic equilibrium solutions up to machine error. Another feature is the non-oscillatory property, which is very important in the numerical simulation when there exist some shock discontinuities. To control the spurious oscillations, we construct an OFDG method with an extra damping term to the existing well-balanced DG schemes proposed in [Y. Xing and C.-W. Shu, CICP, 1(2006), 100-134.]. With a careful construction of the damping term, the proposed method achieves both the well-balanced property and non-oscillatory property simultaneously without compromising any order of accuracy. We also present a detailed procedure for the construction and a theoretical analysis for the preservation of the well-balancedness property. Extensive numerical experiments including one- and two-dimensional space demonstrate that the proposed methods possess the desired properties without sacrificing any order of accuracy.
We present the recent development of hybridizable and embedded discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for wave propagation problems in fluids, solids, and electromagnetism. In each of these areas, we describe the methods, discuss their main features, di splay numerical results to illustrate their performance, and conclude with bibliography notes. The main ingredients in devising these DG methods are (i) a local Galerkin projection of the underlying partial differential equations at the element level onto spaces of polynomials of degree k to parametrize the numerical solution in terms of the numerical trace; (ii) a judicious choice of the numerical flux to provide stability and consistency; and (iii) a global jump condition that enforces the continuity of the numerical flux to obtain a global system in terms of the numerical trace. These DG methods are termed hybridized DG methods, because they are amenable to hybridization (static condensation) and hence to more efficient implementations. They share many common advantages of DG methods and possess some unique features that make them well-suited to wave propagation problems.
We consider a class of time dependent second order partial differential equations governed by a decaying entropy. The solution usually corresponds to a density distribution, hence positivity (non-negativity) is expected. This class of problems covers important cases such as Fokker-Planck type equations and aggregation models, which have been studied intensively in the past decades. In this paper, we design a high order discontinuous Galerkin method for such problems. If the interaction potential is not involved, or the interaction is defined by a smooth kernel, our semi-discrete scheme admits an entropy inequality on the discrete level. Furthermore, by applying the positivity-preserving limiter, our fully discretized scheme produces non-negative solutions for all cases under a time step constraint. Our method also applies to two dimensional problems on Cartesian meshes. Numerical examples are given to confirm the high order accuracy for smooth test cases and to demonstrate the effectiveness for preserving long time asymptotics.
