Discontinuity Capture in One-Dimensional Space Using the Numerical Manifold Method with High-Order Legendre Polynomials

Traditional methods such as the finite difference method, the finite element method, and the finite volume method are all based on continuous interpolation. In general, if discontinuity occurred, the calculation result would show low accuracy and poor stability. In this paper, the numerical manifold...
