A filtering monotonization approach for DG discretizations of hyperbolic problems

Abstract

We introduce a filtering technique for Discontinuous Galerkin approximations of hyperbolic problems. Following an approach already proposed for the Hamilton-Jacobi equations by other authors, we aim at reducing the spurious oscillations that arise in presence of discontinuities when high order spatial discretizations are employed. This goal is achieved using a filter function that keeps the high order scheme when the solution is regular and switches to a monotone low order approximation if it is not. The method has been implemented in the framework of the $deal.II$ numerical library, whose mesh adaptation capabilities are also used to reduce the region in which the low order approximation is used. A number of numerical experiments demonstrate the potential of the proposed filtering technique.
