In this paper,we present the local discontinuous Galerkin method for solving Burgers' equation and the modified Burgers' equation.We describe the algorithm formulation and practical implementation of the local discontinuous Galerkin method in detail.The method is applied to the solution of the one-dimensional viscous Burgers' equation and two forms of the modified Burgers' equation.The numerical results indicate that the method is very accurate and efficient.
In this paper,a new discontinuous Galerkin method is developed for the parabolic equation with jump coefficients satisfying the continuous flow condition.Theoretical analysis shows that this method is L^(2) stable.When the finite element space consists of interpolative polynomials of degrees k,the convergent rate of the semi-discrete discontinuous Galerkin scheme has an order of δ(h^(k)).Numerical examples for both 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional problems demonstrate the validity of the new method.
