Simulation of shock-dominated flows using high-order implicit shock tracking
High-order implicit shock tracking (fitting) is a new class of numerical methods to approximate solutions of conservation laws with non-smooth features, e.g., contact lines, shock waves, and rarefactions. These methods align elements of the computational mesh with non-smooth features to represent them perfectly, allowing high-order basis functions to approximate smooth regions of the solution without the need for nonlinear stabilization, which leads to accurate approximations on traditionally coarse meshes. The hallmark of these methods is the underlying optimization formulation whose solution is a feature-aligned mesh and the corresponding high-order approximation to the flow, which circumvents the geometric complexity of traditional shock fitting approaches. In this talk, I will introduce the High-Order Implicit Shock Tracking method and its application to several shock-dominated flows.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
