Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Anisotropic Semidefinite Diffusion with Advection
Abstract
We construct and analyze a discontinuous Galerkin method to solve advection-diffusion-reaction PDEs with anisotropic and semidefinite diffusion. The method is designed to automatically detect the so-called elliptic/hyperbolic interface on fitted meshes. The key idea is to use consistent weighted average and jump operators. Optimal estimates in the broken graph norm are proven. These are consistent with well-known results when the problem is either hyperbolic or uniformly elliptic. The theoretical results are supported by numerical evidence.
