Divergence error based $p$-adaptive discontinuous Galerkin solution of time-domain Maxwell's equations

Divergence error is used as an indicator to dynamically identify and assign spatial operators of varying accuracy to substantial regions in the computational domain and results in a reduced computational cost than a comparable discontinuous Galerkin time-domain solution using uniform degree piecewise polynomial bases throughout.

Future Simulations of Tidal Disruption Events

This chapter presents a summary of the key problems of the field for which simulations offer the greatest promise and the capabilities required to make progress on them and discusses what has been—and what cannot be—done with existing numerical methods.

Future Simulations of Tidal Disruption Events

Tidal disruption events involve numerous physical processes (fluid dynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, radiation transport, self-gravity, general relativistic dynamics) in highly nonlinear ways, and,…

A discontinuous Galerkin method for solving the fluid and magnetohydrodynamic equations in astrophysical simulations

A discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method suitable for large-scale astrophysical simulations on Cartesian meshes as well as arbitrary static and moving Voronoi meshes is presented and is found that the DG procedure on a moving mesh is more sensitive to the choice of slope limiter than is its FV method counterpart.

Hyperbolic divergence cleaning for the MHD equations

A new approach to the stabilization of numerical schemes in magnetohydrodynamic processes in which the divergence errors are transported to the domain boundaries with the maximal admissible speed and are damped at the same time is developed.

A Staggered Mesh Algorithm Using High Order Godunov Fluxes to Ensure Solenoidal Magnetic Fields in Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations

This paper presents a staggered mesh strategy which directly uses the properly upwinded fluxes that are provided by a Godunov scheme, and shows that a scheme that involves a collocation of magnetic field variables that is different from the one traditionally favored in the design of higher orderGodunov schemes can nevertheless offer the same robust and accurate performance.
