contents Thermodynamically consistent models in continuum physics, i.e. models which satisfy the first and second laws of thermodynamics, may be expressed using the metriplectic formalism. In this work, we leverage the structures underlying this modeling formalism to preserve thermodynamic consistency in discretizations of a fluid model. The procedure relies (1) on ensuring that the spatial semi-discretization retains certain symmetries and degeneracies of the Poisson and metriplectic 4-brackets, and (2) on the use of an appropriate energy conserving time-stepping method. The minimally simple yet nontrivial example of a one-dimensional thermal-fluid model is treated. It is found that preservation of the requisite symmetries and degeneracies of the 4-bracket is relatively simple to ensure in Galerkin spatial discretizations, suggesting a path forward for thermodynamically consistent discretizations of more complex fluid models using more specialized Galerkin methods.
