Description
Summary:The discontinuous Galerkin method with discontinuous basic functions which is characterized by a high order of accuracy of the obtained solution is now widely used. In this paper a new way of approximation of diffusion terms for discontinuous Galerkin method for solving diffusion-type equations is proposed. The method uses piecewise polynomials that are continuous on a macroelement surrounding the nodes in the unstructured mesh but discontinuous between the macroelements. In the proposed numerical scheme the spaced grid is used. On one grid an approximation of the unknown quantity is considered, on the other is the approximation of additional variables. Additional variables are components of the heat flux. For the numerical experiment the initial-boundary problem for three-dimensional heat conduction equation is chosen. Calculations of three-dimensional modeling problems including explosive factors show a good accuracy of offered method.
