A CLASS OF EXPLICIT FORWARD TIME-DIFFERENCE SQUARE CONSERVATIVE SCHEMES

In the present paper, a class of explicit forward time-difference schemes are established from a geometric view with strict analytical deductions. This class includes the schemes with a constant time interval and with adjustable time intervals, which is proved to be effective and remarkably time-saving in numerical tests and applications.

Generalized Square Conservative Multistep Finite Difference Scheme Incorporating Historical Observations

In this paper,a multistep finite difference scheme has been proposed,whose coefficients are determined taking into consideration compatibility and generalized quadratic conservation,as well as incorporating historical observation data.The schemes have three advantages:high-order accuracy in time,generalized square conservation,and smart use of historical observations.Numerical tests based on the one-dimensional linear advection equations suggest that reasonable consideration of accuracy,square conservation,and inclusion of historical observations is critical for good performance of a finite difference scheme.

Construction of Explicit Quasi-complete Square Conservative Difference Schemes of Forced Dissipative Nonlinear Evolution Equations

Based on the forced dissipetive nonlinear evolution equations for describing the motion of atmosphere and ocean, the computational stability of the explicit difference schemes of the forced dissipotive nonlinear atmospheric and oceanic equations is analyzed and the computationally stable explicit complete square conservative difference schemes are constructed. The theoretical analysis and numerical experiment prove that the explicit complete square conservative difference schemes are computationally stable and deserve to be disseminated.

EXPLICIT SQUARE CONSERVING SCHEMES OF LANDAU-LIFSHITZ EQUATIONWITH GILBERT COMPONENT

A kind of explicit square-conserving scheme is proposed for the Landau-Lifshitz equation with Gilbert component. The basic idea was to semidiscrete the Landau-Lifshitz equation into the ordinary differential equations. Then the Lie group method and the Runge-Kutta (RK) method were applied to the ordinary differential equations. The square conserving property and the accuracy of the two methods were compared. Numerical experiment results show the Lie group method has the good accuracy and the square conserving property than the RK method.

A High-Order Compact Scheme with Square-Conservativity

In order to improve the accuracy of forecasts of atmospheric and oceanic phenomena which possess a wide range of space and time scales, it is crucial to design the high-order and stable schemes. On the basis of the explicit square-conservative scheme, a high-order compact explicit square-conservative scheme is proposed in this paper. This scheme not only keeps the square-conservative characteristics, but also is of high accuracy. The numerical example shows that this scheme has less computing errors and better computational stability, and it could be considered to be tested and used in many atmospheric and oceanic problems.

Three-Step Difference Scheme for Solving Nonlinear Time-Evolution Partial Differential Equations

In this paper, a special three-step difference scheme is applied to the solution of nonlinear time-evolution equations, whose coefficients are determined according to accuracy constraints, necessary conditions of square conservation, and historical observation information under the linear supposition. As in the linear case, the schemes also have obvious superiority in overall performance in the nonlinear case compared with traditional finite difference schemes, e.g., the leapfrog(LF) scheme and the complete square conservation difference(CSCD) scheme that do not use historical observations in determining their coefficients, and the retrospective time integration(RTI) scheme that does not consider compatibility and square conservation. Ideal numerical experiments using the one-dimensional nonlinear advection equation with an exact solution show that this three-step scheme minimizes its root mean square error(RMSE) during the first 2500 integration steps when no shock waves occur in the exact solution, while the RTI scheme outperforms the LF scheme and CSCD scheme only in the first 1000 steps and then becomes the worst in terms of RMSE up to the 2500th step. It is concluded that reasonable consideration of accuracy, square conservation, and historical observations is also critical for good performance of a finite difference scheme for solving nonlinear equations.

An Economical Consistent Dissipation Operator and Its Applications to the Improvement of AGCM

This paper introduces a new consistent dissipation operator. It is based on the explicit square conservation scheme and the theory of consistent dissipation. The operator makes full use of the advantages of the Leap-frog scheme, i.e., its second order time precision and its explicit solution manner. Meanwhile, it overcomes the fatal disadvantage, the absolute instability in computations, of the scheme. When it is applied to the explicit square conservation scheme, the time precision of the scheme reaches to third order. Especially, the computational stability of this scheme is as good as the third order explicit Runge-Kutta scheme. The CPU time required in computations by the scheme is less than that required by the explicit square conservation scheme with the consistent dissipation operator constructed from the Runge-Kutta method. Therefore, the new operator is an economical one. The application of the operator to the improvement of the dynamical model of the L 2 IAP AGCM shows its time-saving property and its good effects.

AN EXPLICIT COMPLETE SQUARE CONSERVATIVE SCHEME WITH ADJUSTABLE TIME INTERVALS

In this paper,a kind of explicit difference scheme to solve nonlinear evolution equations,perfectly keeping the square conservation by adjusting the time step interval,is constructed,from the comprehensive maintenance of the ad- vantages of the implicit complete square conservative scheme and the explicit instantaneous square conservative scheme. The new schemes are based on the thought of adding a small dissipation,but it is different from the small dissipation method.The dissipative term used in the new schemes is not a simple artificial dissipative term,but a so-called (time) harmonious dissipative term that can compensate for the truncation errors from the dissociation of the time differential term.Therefore,the new schemes may have a high time precision and may acquire a satisfactory effect in numerical tests.
