| | SCD seminar February 25: Implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta DG methods and applications |
 | | We implement high-order Implicit-Explicit Runge-Kutta (IMEX-RK) methods to overcome geometry-induced stiffness in various linear and nonlinear problems on unstructured grids, by solving the non-stiff portions of the domain using explicit methods, and solving the more expensive stiff portions using implicit methods. |
 | | Surprisingly, IMEX-RK methods are not only more efficient than ERK methods for sufficient levels of stiffness, but are also more accurate when nonconsistent filters are used. |
 | | We follow the method of lines approach, and discretize space using a nodal Discontinuous Galerkin Spectral Element method. |
