@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/4262, title = {Discontinuous Galerkin Method for 1D Shallow Water Flow with Water Surface Slope Limiter}, author = {W. Lai and A. A. Khan}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {A water surface slope limiting scheme is tested and compared with the water depth slope limiter for the solution of one dimensional shallow water equations with bottom slope source term. Numerical schemes based on the total variation diminishing Runge- Kutta discontinuous Galerkin finite element method with slope limiter schemes based on water surface slope and water depth are used to solve one-dimensional shallow water equations. For each slope limiter, three different Riemann solvers based on HLL, LF, and Roe flux functions are used. The proposed water surface based slope limiter scheme is easy to implement and shows better conservation property compared to the slope limiter based on water depth. Of the three flux functions, the Roe approximation provides the best results while the LF function proves to be least suitable when used with either slope limiter scheme.}, journal = {International Journal of Geological and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {5}, number = {3}, year = {2011}, pages = {167 - 176}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/4262}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/51}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 51, 2011}, }
