In this course, we introduce discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes for solving PDEs numerically. DG schemes belong to the category of finite element (FE) schemes, different to standard continuous finite element approaches though there is no continuity requirement between the polynomial representation on the single elements. This creates a similarity to finite volume (FV) schemes. Pre-knowledge about continuous FE and FV schemes is very helpful but not strictly necessary.
The course will first introduce DG schemes for standard model PDEs (time-dependent advection, Poisson equation, heat equation) and then proceed to discuss DG schemes for compressible Euler equations.
More information will be given in the first lecture.
