A discontinuous Galerkin method for the solution of compressible flows

This thesis presents a methodology for the numerical solution of one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) compressible flows via a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) formulation. The 1D Euler equations are used to assess the performance and stability of the discretisation. The explicit time restrictio...
