A semi-implicit discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the numerical solution of inviscid compressible flow. (English) Zbl 1116.76386

Summary: The paper is concerned with the numerical solution of an inviscid compressible flow with the aid of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method. Since the explicit time discretization requires a high restriction of the time step, we propose semi-implicit numerical schemes based on the homogeneity of inviscid fluxes, allowing a simple linearization of the Euler equations which leads to a linear algebraic system on each time level. Numerical experiments performed for the Ringleb flow problem verify a higher order of accuracy of the presented method and demonstrate lower CPU-time costs in comparison with an explicit method. Then the method is tested on more complex unsteady Euler flows.
