• Abstract

We generalize the troubled-cell indicator on unstructured triangular meshes recently introduced by Fu and Shu (J. Comput. Phys., 347 (2017), pp.  305--327) to $h$-adaptive rectangular meshes where hanging nodes exist. The generalized troubled-cell indicator keeps the good properties of simplicity, compactness and insensitivity to particular test cases. Numerical tests on the two-dimensional scalar Burgers' equation and hyperbolic systems of Euler equations demonstrate the good performance of the generalized indicator. The results on both uniform and $h$-adaptive meshes indicate that the generalized indicator is able to capture shocks effectively without any PDE-sensitive parameter to tune.

• Keywords

Troubled-cell indicator, discontinuous Galerkin method, adaptive mesh, conservation law.
