Spectral element schemes for the Korteweg-de Vries and Saint-Venant equations
Abstract
Hyperbolic systems and dispersive equations remain challenging for finite element methods (FEMs). On the basis of an arbitrarily high order FEM, namely the spectral element method (SEM), we address :
-The Korteweg-de Vries equation, to explain how high order derivative terms can be efficiently handled with a C0-continuous Galerkin approximation. The conservation of the invariants is also focused on, especially by using in time embedded implicit-explicit Runge Kutta schemes.
-The 2D shallow water equations, to show how a stabilized SEM can solve problems involving shocks. We especially focus on flows involving dry-wet transitions and propose to this end an efficient variant of the entropy viscosity method.
