Abstract

In this second part of our two-part paper, we extend to multiple spatial dimensions the one-dimensional, fully conservative, positivity-preserving, and entropy-bounded discontinuous Galerkin scheme developed in the first part for the chemically reacting Euler equations. Our primary objective is to enable robust and accurate solutions to complex reacting-flow problems using the high-order discontinuous Galerkin method without requiring extremely high resolution. Variable thermodynamics and detailed chemistry are considered. Our multidimensional framework can be regarded as a further generalization of similar positivity-preserving and/or entropy-bounded discontinuous Galerkin schemes in the literature. In particular, the proposed formulation is compatible with curved elements of arbitrary shape, a variety of numerical flux functions, general quadrature rules with positive weights, and mixtures of thermally perfect gases. Preservation of pressure equilibrium between adjacent elements, especially crucial in simulations of multicomponent flows, is discussed. Complex detonation waves in two and three dimensions are accurately computed using high-order polynomials. Enforcement of an entropy bound, as opposed to solely the positivity property, is found to significantly improve stability. Mass, total energy, and atomic elements are shown to be discretely conserved.

Fully spectral scheme for the linear BGK equation on the whole space

In this article, we design a fully spectral method in both space and velocity for a linear inhomogeneous kinetic equation with mass, momentum and energy conservation. We focus on the linear BGK equation with a confinement potential $Φ$, even if the method could be applied to different collision operators. It is based upon the projection on Hermite polynomials in velocity and orthonormal polynomials with respect to the weight $e^{-$Φ$}$ in space. The potential $Φ$ is assumed to be a polynomial. It is, to the author's knowledge, the first scheme which preserves hypocoercive behavior in addition to the conservation laws. These different properties are illustrated numerically on both quadratic and double well potential.

Inverse inequalities for kernel-based approximation on bounded domains and Riemannian manifolds

This paper establishes inverse inequalities for kernel-based approximation spaces defined on bounded Lipschitz domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and compact Riemannian manifolds. While inverse inequalities are well-studied for polynomial spaces, their extension to kernel-based trial spaces poses significant challenges. For bounded Lipschitz domains, we extend prior Bernstein inequalities, which only apply to a limited range of Sobolev orders, to the full range of lower and upper orders, and derive Nikolskii inequalities that bound $L_\infty$ norms by $L_2$ norms. For compact Riemannian manifolds, we focus on restricted kernels, which are defined as the restriction of positive definite kernels from the ambient Euclidean space to the manifold, and prove their counterparts.

Error Estimates for Hyperbolic Scaling Limits of Linear Kinetic Models on Networks

This paper studies linear discrete kinetic models on networks and their asymptotic behavior in the small Knudsen number limit. For coupling conditions at an n-edge junction under a symmetric formulation, we introduce a change of variables that reformulates the system into n independent initial-boundary value problems. The asymptotic expansions are then constructed and rigorously justified by deriving an error estimate based on the energy method.
