contents We develop local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) methods for conservation laws with heterogeneous stochastic fluxes, where the Stratonovich-driven transport terms may be linear or nonlinear. Such equations arise, for example, in simplified turbulence models, mean field games, and fluctuating hydrodynamics. Starting from the Itô formulation, we construct semi-discretizations that build the cancellation mechanism of transport noise into the numerical method. At the discrete energy level, the second-order Stratonovich-Itô correction is balanced by the quadratic variation, up to numerical flux terms, so that the hyperbolic stability structure is retained. Suitable numerical fluxes yield discrete energy conservation or energy dissipation, valid either pathwise or in expectation. The resulting high-order schemes are proved well posed through stability estimates combined with a Khasminskii-type argument, without imposing linear growth assumptions. Numerical experiments confirm stability and high-order accuracy.
