KurzfassungAfter the introduction in Section 1 this lecture starts off with
recalling well-known results from the numerical analysis of the
continuous finite element methods. In particular, we recall <em>a
priori</em> error estimates in the energy norm and the
L<sup>2</sup>-norm including their proofs for higher order standard
finite element methods of Poisson's equation in Section 2 and for the
standard and the streamline diffusion finite element method of the
linear advection equation in Section 3.
<br>
</br>
We then introduce the discontinuous Galerkin discretization of the
linear advection equation in Section 4. Following
[Brezzi-Marini-Süli-2004] we consider two numerical flux
functions, the mean-value flux and the upwind flux, and derive the
corresponding <em>a priori</em> error estimates. Whereas the standard
Galerkin discretization of the linear advection equation is unstable
and requires e.g. streamline diffusion for stabilization, we will see
in Section 4 that the discontinuous Galerkin discretization of the
linear advection based on upwind is stable without addition of
streamline diffusion.
<br>
</br>
Then in Section 5, we follow [Arnold-Brezzi-Cockburn-Marini-2002] and
derive and analyze a variety of discontinuous Galerkin discretizations
of Poisson's equations. In particular, we derive the symmetric and
non-symmetric interior penalty Galerkin method (SIPG and NIPG), the
method of Baumann-Oden (BO) and the first and second method of Bassi
and Rebay (BR1 and BR2). The analysis of the methods includes the
consistency and adjoint consistency of the schemes, continuity and
coercivity of the respective bilinear forms and <em>a priori</em>
error estimates for the interior penalty methods. In particular, we
will see that the adjoint consistent SIPG scheme is of optimal order
in the L<sup>2</sup>-norm whereas the adjoint inconsistent NIPG scheme
is not.
<br>
</br>
Motivated by the connection of adjoint consistency of DG
discretizations to the availability of optimal order error estimates
in the L<sup>2</sup>-norm we concentrate on the adjoint consistency
property in Section 6. In particular, here we follow [Hartmann-2007]
and give a general framework for analyzing the consistency and adjoint
consistency of DG discretizations for linear problems with
inhomogeneous boundary conditions. This includes the derivation of
continuous adjoint problems associated to specific target quantities,
the derivation of primal and adjoint residual forms of the
discretizations and the discussion whether the discretizations in
combination with specific target quantities J(.) are adjoint
consistent or not. This analysis is performed in Sections 6.3 and 6.4
for the interior penalty DG discretization of the Dirichlet-Neumann
boundary value problem of Poisson's equations and for the upwind DG
discretization of the linear advection equation, respectively.
<br>
</br>
Then in Section 7 the previously shown properties and estimates for
the interior penalty and the upwind DG discretization are used to
derive <em>a priori</em> estimates for the error measured in terms of
target quantities J(.). Here again, we will see that a discretization
must be consistent and adjoint consistent in order to provide optimal
error estimates in J(.).
<br>
</br>
This lecture is finalized with the Sections 8 and 9 which introduce
the DG discretizations of the compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes
equations. Additionally, the consistency and adjoint consistency
analysis which has been introduced in Section 6 for linear problems is
now generalized to nonlinear problems in Section 8.5. This analysis is
performed for the compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations in
Sections 8.6 and 9.3, respectively. This includes the derivation of an
adjoint consistent discretization of boundary conditions and of target
functionals. Here particular emphasis is placed on the aerodynamic
force coefficients like the drag, lift and moment coefficients.
<br>
</br>
Various examples in Sections 5.6, 7.3, 8.7 and 9.4 illustrate the
numerical methods described.
