Position-dependent smoothness-increasing accuracy-conserving (SIAC) filtering for improving discontinuous Galerkin solutions

Position-dependent smoothness-increasing accuracy-conserving (SIAC) filtering is a promising technique not only in improving the order of the numerical solution obtained by a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method but also in increasing the smoothness of the field and improving the magnitude of the errors. This was initially established as an...

Automated Parameters for Troubled-Cell Indicators Using Outlier Detection

In Vuik and Ryan [J. Comput. Phys., 270 (2014), pp. 138--160] we studied the use of troubled-cell indicators for discontinuity detection in nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations and introduced a new multiwavelet technique to detect troubled cells. We found that these methods perform well as long as a suitable, problem-dependent...

Multiwavelets and outlier detection for troubled-cell indication in discontinuous Galerkin methods

This dissertation addresses practical use of multiwavelets and outlier detection for troubled-cell indication for discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods. For smooth solutions, the DG approximation converges to the exact solution with a high order of accuracy. However, problems may arise when shock waves or discontinuities appear: non-physical...
