contents The Runge--Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) method is a high-order technique for addressing hyperbolic conservation laws, which has been refined over recent decades and is effective in handling shock discontinuities. Despite its advancements, the RKDG method faces challenges, such as stringent constraints on the explicit time-step size and reduced robustness when dealing with strong discontinuities. On the other hand, the Gas-Kinetic Scheme (GKS) based on a high-order gas evolution model also delivers significant accuracy and stability in solving hyperbolic conservation laws through refined spatial and temporal discretizations. Unlike RKDG, GKS allows for more flexible CFL number constraints and features an advanced flow evolution mechanism at cell interfaces. Additionally, GKS' compact spatial reconstruction enhances the accuracy of the method and its ability to capture stable strong discontinuities effectively. In this study, we conduct a thorough examination of the RKDG method using various numerical fluxes and the GKS method employing both compact and non-compact spatial reconstructions. Both methods are applied under the framework of explicit time discretization and are tested solely in inviscid scenarios. We will present numerous numerical tests and provide a comparative analysis of the outcomes derived from these two computational approaches.
