We use the framework of upwind summation-by-parts (SBP) operators developed by Mattsson (2017, doi:10.1016/j.jcp.2017.01.042) and study different flux vector splittings in this context. To do so, we introduce discontinuous-Galerkin-like…

In the hyperbolic community, discontinuous Galerkin approaches are mainly applied when finite element methods are considered. As the name suggested, the DG framework allows a discontinuity at the element interfaces, which seems for many…
