In recent years, high-order finite element methods on high-order meshes have attracted considerable attention. This work investigates the isoparametric upwind discontinuous Galerkin method for the radiation transport equation on a bounded domain with a piecewise $C^{k+1}$ smooth curved boundary. We use the isoparametric mapping to approximate the curved domain and construct a curved upwind discontinuous Galerkin scheme. The first-order hyperbolic nature and the complexity introduced by non-affine transformation, lead to additional difficulties for geometric approximation, numerical stability and the optimal error estimate. To address these issues, with the help of an isoparametric auxiliary operator, we first prove that the bilinear form is continuous with respect to the DG norm when its first argument is the isoparametric projection error. Then the geometric approximation error of inflow boundary of original domain is precisely estimated. The error order between discrete normal vectors and the continuous ones are also proven. Finally, the rigorous analysis yields an optimal convergence rate in the DG norm. Two- and three-dimensional numerical tests are conducted to support the theoretical results.

In this paper, the magneto-heating coupling model is studied in details, with turbulent convection zone and the flow field involved. Our main work is to analyze the well-posed property of this model with the regularity techniques. For the magnetic field, we consider the space $H_0(curl)\cap H(div_0)$ and for the heat equation, we consider the space $H_0^1(Ω)$. Then we present the weak formulation of the coupled magneto-heating model and establish the regularity problem. Using Roth's method, monotone theories of nonlinear operator, weak convergence theories, we prove that the limits of the solutions from Roth's method converge to the solutions of the regularity problem with proper initial data. With the help of the spacial regularity technique, we derive the results of the well-posedness of the original problems when the regular parameter $ε\longrightarrow 0$. Moreover, with additional regularity assumption for both the magnetic field and temperature variable, we prove the uniqueness of the solutions.

In this paper, we consider the wave propagation with Debye polarization in nonlinear dielectric materials. For this model, the Rother's method is employed to derive the well-posedness of the electric fields and the existence of the polarized fields by monotonicity theorem as well as the boundedness of the two fields are established. Then, the time errors are derived for the semi-discrete solutions by the order $O(Δt)$. Subsequently, decoupled the full-discrete scheme of the Euler in time and Raviart-Thomas-N$\acute{e}$d$\acute{e}$lec element $k\geq 2$ in spatial is established. Based on the truncated error, we present the convergent analysis with the order $O(Δt+h^s) $ under the technique of a-prior $L^\infty$ assumption. For the $k=1$, we employ the superconvergence technique to ensure the a-prior $L^\infty$ assumption. In the end, we give some numerical examples to demonstrate our theories.
