| Abstract: |
In this work we present the Cartesian grid discontinuous Galerkin (cgDG) finite element method, a novel numerical technique that combines the high accuracy and efficiency of a high-order discontinuous Galerkin discretization with the simplicity and hierarchical structure of a geometry-independent Cartesian mesh. The elements that intersect the boundary of the physical domain require special treatment in order to minimize their effect on the performance of the algorithm. We considered the exact representation of the geometry for the boundary of the domain avoiding any nonphysical artifacts. We also define a stabilization procedure that eliminates the step size restriction of the time marching scheme due to extreme cut patterns. The unstable degrees of freedom are eliminated and the supporting regions of their shape functions are reassigned to neighboring elements. A subdomain matching algorithm and an a posterior enrichment strategy are presented. Combining these techniques we obtain a final spatial discretization that preserves stability and accuracy of the standard body-fitted discretization. The method is validated through a series of numerical tests and it is successfully applied to the solution of problems of interest in the context of electromagnetic scattering with increasing complexity. |
