Consider stabilization options #283

Open agzimmerman opened 6 years ago

In additional to stabilizing advection with something like SUPG, we may want to stabilize interior layers (primarily the phase interface) with some kind of shock capturing method.

Here are a couple of nice places to start:

Also someone mentioned that the "continuous interior penalty" method might be good for the phase-change layer.

Also how much could we gain just by using DG for the enthalpy equation? See issue #281

This is also related to the idea of using HDiv elements. See issue #252

In a way this could address issue #191.
