| Abstract: | In this paper, the second-order and third-order Runge-Kutta discontinuous
Galerkin (RKDG) methods with multi-resolution weighted essentially non-oscillatory
(WENO) limiters are proposed on tetrahedral meshes. The multi-resolution WENO
limiter is an extension of a finite volume multi-resolution WENO scheme developed
in 81], which serves as a limiter for RKDG methods on tetrahedral meshes. This new
WENO limiter uses information of the DG solution essentially only within the troubled cell itself which is identified by a new modified version of the original KXRCF
indicator 42], to build a sequence of hierarchical $L^2$ projection polynomials from zeroth degree to the second or third degree of the DG solution. The second-order and
third-order RKDG methods with the associated multi-resolution WENO limiters are
developed as examples for general high-order RKDG methods, which could maintain
the original order of accuracy in smooth regions and keep essentially non-oscillatory
property near strong discontinuities by gradually degrading from the optimal order
to the first order. The linear weights inside the procedure of the new multi-resolution
WENO limiters can be set as any positive numbers on the condition that they sum
to one. A series of polynomials of different degrees within the troubled cell itself
are applied in a WENO fashion to modify the DG solutions in the troubled cell on
tetrahedral meshes. These new WENO limiters are very simple to construct, and can
be easily implemented to arbitrary high-order accuracy on tetrahedral meshes. Such
spatial reconstruction methodology improves the robustness in the simulation on the
same compact spatial stencil of the original DG methods on tetrahedral meshes. Extensive one-dimensional (run as three-dimensional problems on tetrahedral meshes)
and three-dimensional tests are performed to demonstrate the good performance of
the RKDG methods with new multi-resolution WENO limiters. |
