In the presented method, a higher-order piece-wise polynomial is reconstructed based on the underlying discontinuous Galerkin (DG) solution. This reconstruction is done by using a newly developed variational formulation. The variational reconstruction (VR) can be seen as an extension of the compact finite difference (FD) schemes to unstructured grids. The reconstructed variables are obtained by solving an extreme-value problem, which minimizes the jumps of the reconstructed piece-wise polynomials across the cell interfaces, and therefore maximizes the smoothness of the reconstructed solution. Intrinsically, the stencils of the presented reconstruction are the entire mesh, so this method is robust even on tetrahedral grids. A variety of benchmark test cases are presented to assess the accuracy, efficiency and robustness of this rDG method. The numerical experiments demonstrate that the developed rDG method based on variational formulation can maintain the linear stability, obtain the designed high-order accuracy, and outperform the rDG counterpart based on the least-squares reconstruction for both inviscid and viscous compressible flows.}, journal={JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS}, author={Li, Lingquan and Liu, Xiaodong and Luo, Hong}, year={2022}, month={Oct} }

The idea is to combine the advantages of the FOHS formulation and the rDG methods in an effort to develop a more reliable, accurate, efficient, and robust method for solving the diffusion equations. The developed hyperbolic rDG methods can be made to have higher-order accuracy than conventional DG methods with fewer degrees of freedom. A number of test cases for different diffusion equations are presented to assess accuracy and performance of the newly developed hyperbolic rDG methods in comparison with the standard BR2 DG method. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the hyperbolic rDG methods are able to achieve the designed optimal order of accuracy for both solutions and their derivatives on regular, irregular, and heterogeneous girds, and outperform the BR2 method in terms of the magnitude of the error, the order of accuracy, the size of time steps, and the CPU times required to achieve steady state solutions, indicating that the developed hyperbolic rDG methods provide an attractive and probably an even superior alternative for solving the diffusion equations.}, number={5}, journal={COMMUNICATIONS IN COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS}, author={Lou, Jialin and Liu, Xiaodong and Luo, Hong and Nishikawa, Hiroaki}, year={2019}, month={May}, pages={1302–1327} }

In this method, a piecewise quadratic polynomial solution (P2) is obtained using a least-squares method from the underlying piecewise linear DG(P1) solution. The reconstructed quadratic polynomial solution is then used for computing the inviscid and the viscous fluxes. Furthermore, Hermite Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO) reconstruction is used to guarantee the stability of the developed rDG method. A number of benchmark test cases based on a set of uniformly refined quadratic curved meshes are presented to assess the performance of the resultant rDG(P1P2) method for turbulent flow problems. The numerical results demonstrate that the rDG(P1P2) method is able to obtain reliable and accurate solutions to 3D compressible turbulent flows at a cost slightly higher than its underlying second-order DG(P1) method.}, journal={COMPUTERS & FLUIDS}, author={Liu, Xiaodong and Xia, Yidong and Luo, Hong}, year={2018}, month={Jan}, pages={26–41} }

The DDG method, originally introduced for scalar diffusion problems on structured grids, is extended to discretize viscous and heat fluxes in the Navier–Stokes equations. Two approaches of implementing the DDG method to compute numerical diffusive fluxes for the Navier–Stokes equations are presented: one is based on the conservative variables, and the other is based on the primitive variables. The importance of the characteristic cell size used in the DDG formulation on unstructured grids is examined. The numerical fluxes on the boundary by the DDG method are discussed. A number of test cases are presented to assess the performance of the DDG method for solving the compressible Navier–Stokes equations. Based on our numerical results, we observe that DDG method can achieve the designed order of accuracy and is able to deliver the same accuracy as the widely used BR2 method at a significantly reduced cost, clearly demonstrating that the DDG method provides an attractive alternative for solving the compressible Navier–Stokes equations on arbitrary grids owning to its simplicity in implementation and its efficiency in computational cost.}, journal={JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS}, author={Cheng, Jian and Yang, Xiaoquan and Liu, Xiaodong and Liu, Tiegang and Luo, Hong}, year={2016}, month={Dec}, pages={484–502} }
