Abstract: | Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods have proven to be perfectly suited for the construction of very high‐order accurate numerical schemes on arbitrary unstructured and possibly nonconforming grids for a wide variety of applications, but are rather demanding in terms of computational resources. In order to improve the computational efficiency of this class of methods a p‐multigrid solution strategy has been developed, which is based on a semi‐implicit Runge–Kutta smoother for high‐order polynomial approximations and the implicit Backward Euler smoother for piecewise constant approximations. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by comparison with p‐multigrid schemes employing purely explicit smoothing operators for several 2D inviscid test cases.
