Understanding fundamental kinetic processes is important for many problems, from plasma physics to gas dynamics. A first-principles approach to these problems requires a statistical description via the Boltzmann equation, coupled to appropriate field equations. In this paper we present a novel version of the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) algorithm to solve such kinetic equations. Unlike Monte-Carlo methods we use a continuum scheme in which we directly discretize the 6D phase-space using discontinuous basis functions. Our DG scheme eliminates counting noise and aliasing errors that would otherwise contaminate the delicate field-particle interactions. We use modal basis functions with reduced degrees of freedom to improve efficiency while retaining a high formal order of convergence. Our implementation incorporates a number of software innovations: use of JIT compiled top-level language, automatically generated computational kernels and a sophisticated shared-memory MPI implementation to handle velocity space parallelization.

In this work we investigate the parallel scalability of the numerical method developed in Guthrey and Rossmanith [The regionally implicit discontinuous Galerkin method: Improving the stability of DG-FEM, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. (2019)]. We develop an im plementation of the regionally-implicit discontinuous Galerkin (RIDG) method in DoGPack, which is an open source C++ software package for discontinuous Galerkin methods. Specifically, we develop and test a hybrid OpenMP and MPI parallelized implementation of DoGPack with the goal of exploring the efficiency and scalability of RIDG in comparison to the popular strong stability-preserving Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (SSP-RKDG) method. We demonstrate that RIDG methods are able to hide communication latency associated with distributed memory parallelism, due to the fact that almost all of the work involved in the method is highly localized to each element, producing a localized prediction for each region. We demonstrate the enhanced efficiency and scalability of the of the RIDG method and compare it to SSP-RKDG methods and show extensibility to very high order schemes. The two-dimensional scaling study is performed on machines at the Institute for Cyber-Enabled Research at Michigan State University, using up to 1440 total cores on Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6148 CPU @ 2.40GHz CPUs. The three dimensional scaling study is performed on Livermore Computing clusters at at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, using up to 28672 total cores on Intel Xeon CLX-8276L CPUs with Omni-Path interconnects.

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.

In this paper, we develop an oscillation free local discontinuous Galerkin (OFLDG) method for solving nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations. Following the idea of our recent work [J. Lu, Y. Liu, and C.-W. Shu, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 59(2021), pp. 12 99-1324.], we add the damping terms to the LDG scheme to control the spurious oscillations when solutions have a large gradient. The $L^2$-stability and optimal priori error estimates for the semi-discrete scheme are established. The numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed method maintains the high-order accuracy and controls the spurious oscillations well.
In this paper, a high order quasi-conservative discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method using the non-oscillatory kinetic flux is proposed for the 5-equation model of compressible multi-component flows with Mie-Gruneisen equation of state. The method mainl y consists of three steps: firstly, the DG method with the non-oscillatory kinetic flux is used to solve the conservative equations of the model; secondly, inspired by Abgralls idea, we derive a DG scheme for the volume fraction equation which can avoid the unphysical oscillations near the material interfaces; finally, a multi-resolution WENO limiter and a maximum-principle-satisfying limiter are employed to ensure oscillation-free near the discontinuities, and preserve the physical bounds for the volume fraction, respectively. Numerical tests show that the method can achieve high order for smooth solutions and keep non-oscillatory at discontinuities. Moreover, the velocity and pressure are oscillation-free at the interface and the volume fraction can stay in the interval [0,1].

In this paper we present energy-conserving, mixed discontinuous Galerkin (DG) and continuous Galerkin (CG) schemes for the solution of a broad class of physical systems described by Hamiltonian evolution equations. These systems often arise in fluid mechanics (incompressible Euler equations) and plasma physics (Vlasov--Poisson equations and gyrokinetic equations), for example. The dynamics is described by a distribution function that evolves given a Hamiltonian and a corresponding Poisson bracket operator, with the Hamiltonian itself computed from field equations. Hamiltonian systems have several conserved quantities, including the quadratic invariants of total energy and the $L_2$ norm of the distribution function. For accurate simulations one must ensure that these quadratic invariants are conserved by the discrete scheme. We show that using a discontinuous Galerkin scheme to evolve the distribution function and ensuring that the Hamiltonian lies in its continuous subspace leads to an energy-conserving scheme in the continuous-time limit. Further, the $L_2$ norm is conserved if central fluxes are used to update the distribution function, but decays monotonically when using upwind fluxes. The conservation of density and $L_2$ norm is then used to show that the entropy is a non-decreasing function of time. The proofs shown here apply to any Hamiltonian system, including ones in which the Poisson bracket operator is non-canonical (for example, the gyrokinetic equations). We demonstrate the ability of the scheme to solve the Vlasov--Poisson and incompressible Euler equations in 2D and provide references where we have applied these schemes to solve the much more complex 5D electrostatic and electromagnetic gyrokinetic equations.
