Abstract:

In this paper, we consider the local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method using generalized numerical fluxes for linearized Korteweg–de Vries equations. In particular, since the dispersion term dominates, we are able to choose a downwind-biased flux in possession of the anti-dissipation property for the convection term to compensate the numerical dissipation of the dispersion term. This is beneficial to obtain a lower growth of the error and to accurately capture the exact solution without phase errors for long time simulations, when compared with traditional upwind and alternating fluxes. By establishing relations of three different numerical viscosity coefficients, we first show a uniform stability for the auxiliary variables and the prime variable as well as its time derivative. Moreover, the numerical initial condition is suitably chosen, which is the LDG approximation with the same fluxes to a steady–state equation. Finally, optimal error estimates are obtained by virtue of generalized Gauss–Radau projections. Numerical experiments are given to verify the theoretical results.
