A Runge–Kutta discontinuous Galerkin scheme for hyperbolic conservation laws with discontinuous fluxes

Abstract

The paper proposes a scheme by combining the Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method with a δ-mapping algorithm for solving hyperbolic conservation laws with discontinuous fluxes. This hybrid scheme is particularly applied to nonlinear elasticity in heterogeneous media and multi-class traffic flow with inhomogeneous road conditions. Numerical examples indicate the scheme's efficiency in resolving complex waves of the two systems. Moreover, the discussion implies that the so-called δ-mapping algorithm can also be combined with any other classical methods for solving similar problems in general.

High-Order Accurate Flux-Splitting Scheme for Conservation Laws with Discontinuous Flux Function in Space

“…Adimurthi et al made a modification of nonlocal limiter algorithm and obtained the second-order flux-TVD scheme for some interface fluxes as defined in [10]. We also refer the readers to the high-order Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin scheme [32] and the semidiscrete central-upwind scheme [33].…”

A Cost Function Approach to the Prediction of Passenger Distribution at the Subway Platform

“…The macroscopic pedestrian model focuses on studying the whole moving trend of the crowd described by the average speed, density, location, and time. The typical macroscopic model usually means the fluid dynamic model which treats the pedestrian flow as fluid or gas [26,27]. Applications of the pedestrian simulations prompted a number of commercial evacuation software programs, such as EGRESS, EXODUS, SIMULEX, EXITT, WAYOUT, FDS+Evac, etc.…”
