Abstract

Here, we present a new Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin (DG) hydrodynamic method for solving the two-dimensional gas dynamic equations on unstructured hybrid meshes. The physical conservation laws for the momentum and total energy are discretized using a DG method based on linear Taylor expansions. Three different approaches are investigated for calculating the density variation over the element. The first approach evolves a Taylor expansion of the specific volume field. The second approach follows certain finite element methods and uses the strong mass conservation to calculate the density field at a location inside the element or on the element surface. The third approach evolves a Taylor expansion of the density field. The nodal velocity, and the corresponding forces, are explicitly calculated by solving a multidirectional approximate Riemann problem. An effective limiting strategy is presented that ensures monotonicity of the primitive variables. This new Lagrangian DG hydrodynamic method conserves mass, momentum, and total energy. Results from a suite of test problems are presented to demonstrate the robustness and expected second-order accuracy of this new method.

Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin hydrodynamic methods in axisymmetric coordinates

Journal Article Liu, Xiaodong ; Morgan, Nathaniel R. ; Burton, Donald E. - Journal of Computational Physics

In this paper, we present new Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin (DG) hydrodynamic methods for compressible flows on unstructured meshes in axisymmetric coordinates. The physical evolution equations for the specific volume, velocity, and specific total energy are discretized using a modal DG method with linear Taylor series polynomials. Two different approaches are used to discretize the evolution equations – the first one is the true volume approach and the second one is the area-weighted approach. For the true volume approach, the DG equations are derived using the true 3D volume that is consistent with the geometry conservation law (GCL). The Riemann velocitymore »« less

An updated Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin hydrodynamic method for gas dynamics

Journal Article Wu, Tong ; Shashkov, Mikhail Jurievich ; Morgan, Nathaniel Ray ; ... - Computers and Mathematics with Applications (Oxford)

Here, we present a new Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin (DG) hydrodynamic method for gas dynamics. The new method evolves conserved unknowns in the current configuration, which obviates the Jacobi matrix that maps the element in a reference coordinate system or the initial coordinate system to the current configuration. The density, momentum, and total energy (ρ, ρu, E) are approximated with conservative higher-order Taylor expansions over the element and are limited toward a piecewise constant field near discontinuities using a limiter. Two new limiting methods are presented for enforcing the bounds on the primitive variables of density, velocity, and specific internal energymore »« less

A high-order Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin hydrodynamic method for quadratic cells using a subcell mesh stabilization scheme

Journal Article Liu, Xiaodong ; Morgan, Nathaniel R. ; Burton, Donald E. - Journal of Computational Physics

We present here a Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin (DG) hydrodynamic method that is up to third-order accurate using subcell mesh stabilization (SMS) for compressible flows on quadratic meshes in two-dimensional (2D) Cartesian coordinates. Similar to the second-order accurate Lagrangian DG method with linear meshes, the physical evolution equations for the specific volume, velocity, and specific total energy are discretized using a modal DG method with Taylor series polynomials. The Riemann velocity at the vertices of a curvilinear cell, and the corresponding surface forces, are calculated by solving a multidirectional approximate Riemann problem.

A reconstructed discontinuous Galerkin method for compressible flows in Lagrangian formulation

Journal Article Wang, Chuanjin ; Luo, Hong ; Shashkov, Mikhail Jurievich - Computers and Fluids

In this work, a high-order accurate reconstructed discontinuous Galerkin (rDG) method is developed for solving two-dimensional hydrodynamic problems in cell-centered updated Lagrangian formulation. This method is the Lagrangian limit of the unsplit rDG-ALE formulation, and is obtained by assuming the equality of the grid velocity to the fluid velocity only at cell boundaries. The conservative variables and the Taylor basis defined on the time-dependent moving mesh, provide the piece-wise polynomial expansion in the updated Lagrangian formulation. A multi-directional nodal Riemann solver is implemented for computing the grid velocity at the vertices and the numerical flux at the cell boundaries. Amore »« less

A higher-order Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin hydrodynamic method for solid dynamics

Journal Article Lieberman, Evan J. ; Liu, Xiaodong ; Morgan, Nathaniel Ray ; ... - Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering

We present a new multidimensional high-order Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin (DG) hydrodynamic method that supports hypoelastic and hyperelastic strength models for simulating solid dynamics with higher-order elements. We also present new one-dimensional test problems that have an analytic solution corresponding to a hyperelastic–plastic wave. A modal DG approach is used to evolve fields relevant to conservation laws. These fields are approximated high-order Taylor series polynomials. The stress fields are represented using nodal quantities. The constitutive models used to calculate the deviatoric stress are either a hypoelastic–plastic, infinitesimal strain hyperelastic–plastic, or finite strain hyperelastic–plastic model. These constitutive models require new methods formore »« less
