In this paper, we adapt a simple weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) limiter, originally designed for discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes on two-dimensional unstructured triangular meshes, to the correction procedure via reconstruction (CPR) framework for solving nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws on two-dimensional unstructured triangular meshes with straight or curved edges. This is an extension of our earlier work in which the WENO limiter was designed for the CPR framework on regular meshes. The objective of this simple WENO limiter is to simultaneously maintain uniform high order accuracy of the CPR framework in smooth regions and control spurious numerical oscillations near discontinuities. The WENO limiter we adopt in this paper uses information only from the target cell and its immediate neighbors. Hence, it is particularly simple to implement and will not harm the conservativeness and compactness of the CPR framework. Since the CPR framework with this WENO limiter does not in general satisfy the positivity preserving property, we also extend the positivity-preserving limiters to the CPR framework. Numerical results for both scalar equations and Euler systems of compressible gas dynamics are provided to illustrate the good behavior of this procedure.

In this paper we present a rigorous derivation of the material parameters for both the cylinder and rectangle cloaking structures. Numerical results using these material parameters are presented to demonstrate the cloaking effect.

In this paper, we introduce a nonlocal model for linear steady Stokes system with physical no-slip boundary condition. We use the idea of volume constraint to enforce the no-slip boundary condition. We prove that the nonlocal model is well-posed and the solution of the nonlocal system converges to the solution of the original Stokes system when the nonlocality vanishes.

In this paper we generalize a new type of compact Hermite weighted essentially non-oscillatory (HWENO) limiter for the Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) method, which was recently developed for structured meshes, to two dimensional unstructured meshes. The main idea of this HWENO limiter is to reconstruct the new polynomial by the usage of the entire polynomials of the DG solution from the target cell and its neighboring cells in a least squares fashion while maintaining the conservative property, then use the classical WENO methodology to form a convex combination of these reconstructed polynomials based on the smoothness indicators and associated nonlinear weights. The main advantage of this new HWENO limiter is the robustness for very strong shocks and simplicity in implementation especially for the unstructured meshes considered in this paper, since only information from the target cell and its immediate neighbors is needed. Numerical results for both scalar and system equations are provided to test and verify the good performance of this new limiter.

One of the main challenges in computational simulations of gas detonation propagation is that negative density or negative pressure may emerge during the time evolution, which will cause blow-ups. Therefore, schemes with provable positivity-preserving of density and pressure are desired. First order and second order positivity-preserving schemes were well studied. For high order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method, even though the characteristicwise TVB limiter can kill oscillations, it is not sufficient to maintain the positivity. A simple solution for arbitrarily high order positivity-preserving schemes solving Euler equations was proposed recently. In this paper, we first discuss an extension of the technique to design arbitrarily high order positivity-preserving DG schemes for reactive Euler equations. We then present a simpler and more robust implementation of the positivity-preserving limiter than the one before. Numerical tests, including very demanding examples in gaseous detonations, indicate that the third order DG scheme with the new positivity-preserving limiter produces satisfying results even without the TVB limiter.
