Modeling Shallow Water Flows Using the Discontinuous Galerkin MethodAuthor(s): Abdul A. Khan, Wencong Lai\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781138076464, 978-1138076464\nSynopsis\nReplacing the Traditional Physical Model Approach\n\nComputational models offer promise in improving the modeling of shallow water flows. As new techniques are considered, the process continues to change and evolve. Modeling Shallow Water Flows Using the Discontinuous Galerkin Method examines a technique that focuses on hyperbolic conservation laws and includes one-dimensional and two-dimensional shallow water flows and pollutant transports. \n\nCombines the Advantages of Finite Volume and Finite Element Methods\n\nThis book explores the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method, also known as the discontinuous finite element method, in depth. It introduces the DG method and its application to shallow water flows, as well as background informatio.
