Sweep-based, implicit solutions of the multidimensional BGK equation on unstructured grids
We present a nodal discontinuous Galerkin method for solving the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) kinetic equation on multi-dimensional, unstructured grids. The method uses implicit, sweep-based solvers and a moment-preserving projection of the Maxwellian source to enable high-order accuracy in time while avoiding restricti...
