Stratified fluids composed of a sequence of alternate layers show interesting macroscopic properties, which may be quite different from those of the individual constituent fluids. On a macroscopic scale, such systems can be considered a…
We present a novel quasi-conservative arbitrary high order accurate ADER discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method allowing to efficiently use a non-conservative form of the considered partial differential system, so that the governing equations…
In this paper, a thermodynamically consistent solution of the interfacial Riemann problem for the first-order hyperbolic continuum model of Godunov, Peshkov and Romenski (GPR model) is presented. In the presence of phase transition,…
Hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) cover a wide range of interesting phenomena, from human and hearth-sciences up to astrophysics: this unavoidably requires the treatment of many space and time scales in order to describe at…
In this paper, we present a semi-implicit numerical solver for a first order hyperbolic formulation of two-phase flow with surface tension and viscosity. The numerical method addresses several complexities presented by the PDE system in…
A cell-centered implicit-explicit updated Lagrangian finite volume scheme on unstructured grids is proposed for a unified first order hyperbolic formulation of continuum fluid and solid mechanics. The scheme provably respects the stiff…
We discuss the applicability of a unified hyperbolic model for continuum fluid and solid mechanics to modeling non-Newtonian flows and in particular to modeling the stress-driven solid-fluid transformations in flows of viscoplastic fluids,…
In this work, we introduce two novel reformulations of a recent weakly hyperbolic model for two-phase flow with surface tension. In the model, the tracking of phase boundaries is achieved by using a vector interface field, rather than a…
We are concerned with the numerical solution of a unified first order hyperbolic formulation of continuum mechanics that originates from the work of Godunov, Peshkov and Romenski (GPR model) and which is an extension of nonlinear…
Earthquake fault zones are more complex, both geometrically and rheologically, than an idealised infinitely thin plane embedded in linear elastic material. To incorporate nonlinear material behaviour, natural complexities, and multi-physics…
We present a new family of very high order accurate direct Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) Finite Volume (FV) and Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes for the solution of nonlinear hyperbolic PDE systems on moving 2D Voronoi meshes that…
In this paper we present three different numerical approaches to account for curl-type involution constraints in hyperbolic partial differential equations for continuum physics. All approaches have a direct analogy to existing and…
In this paper we first review the development of high order ADER finite volume and ADER discontinuous Galerkin schemes on fixed and moving meshes, since their introduction in 1999 by Toro et al. We show the modern variant of ADER based on a…
In this paper we present a technique for constructing robust solvers for stiff algebraic source terms, such as those typically used for modelling relaxation processes in hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations describing…
