Entropy-stable space-time DG schemes for non-conservative hyperbolic systems

Abstract
We propose a space-time discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method to approximate multi-dimensional non-conservative hyperbolic systems. The scheme is based on a particular choice of interface fluctuations. \emph{The key difference with existing space-time DG methods lies in the fact that our scheme is formulated in entropy variables, allowing us to prove entropy stability for the method}. Additional numerical stabilization in the form of streamline diffusion and shock-capturing terms are added. The resulting method is entropy stable, arbitrary high-order accurate, fully discrete, and able to handle complex domain geometries discretized with unstructured grids. We illustrate the method with representative numerical examples.

Keywords: Non-conservative systems, Entropy stability, space-time DG
