2.4.2 2D Gaussian quadrature for triangular elements
The 2D quadrature rule for the canonical triangular element is given by
Equation (2.60) and the Gaussian quadrature points are listed in Table2.2
(Reddy, 1993).

2.5 Approximate Riemann solvers
Since discontinuities are allowed across element boundaries, the solu-
tion for the numerical uxes can be considered as a Riemann problem.
