Comments on Three-point explicit compact difference scheme with arbitrary order of accuracy and its application in CFD

The explicit compact difference scheme, proposed in Three-point explicit compact difference scheme with arbitrary order of accuracy and its application in CFD by Lin et al., published in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics （English Edition）, 2007, 28（7）, 943-953, has the same performance as the conventional finite difference schemes. It is just another expression of the conventional finite difference schemes. The proposed expression does not have the advantages of a compact difference scheme. Nonetheless, we can more easily obtain and implement compared with the conventional expression in which the coefficients can only be obtained by solving equations, especially for higher accurate schemes.

Then, the existence and uniqueness of solution, the convergence rate of and the stability of the scheme are proved. Finally, numerical results are given to verify the accuracy and validity of the scheme.

Two Energy-Preserving Compact Finite Difference Schemes for the Nonlinear Fourth-Order Wave Equation

In this paper,two fourth-order compact finite difference schemes are derived to solve the nonlinear fourth-order wave equation which can be viewed as a generalized model from the nonlinear beam equation.Differing from the existing compact finite difference schemes which preserve the total energy in a recursive sense,the new schemes are proved to per-fectly preserve the total energy in the discrete sense.By using the standard energy method and the cut-off function technique,the optimal error estimates of the numerical solutions are established,and the convergence rates are of O(h^(4)+τ^(2))with mesh-size h and time-step τ.In order to improve the computational efficiency,an iterative algorithm is proposed as the outer solver and the double sweep method for pentadiagonal linear algebraic equations is introduced as the inner solver to solve the nonlinear difference schemes at each time step.The convergence of the iterative algorithm is also rigorously analyzed.Several numerical results are carried out to test the error estimates and conservative properties.

UNIFORM ERROR BOUNDS OF A CONSERVATIVE COMPACT FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD FOR THE QUANTUM ZAKHAROV SYSTEM IN THE SUBSONIC LIMIT REGIME

In this paper,we consider a uniformly accurate compact finite difference method to solve the quantum Zakharov system(QZS)with a dimensionless parameter 0<ε≤1,which is inversely proportional to the acoustic speed.In the subsonic limit regime,i.e.,when 0<ε?1,the solution of QZS propagates rapidly oscillatory initial layers in time,and this brings significant difficulties in devising numerical algorithm and establishing their error estimates,especially as 0<ε?1.The solvability,the mass and energy conservation laws of the scheme are also discussed.Based on the cut-off technique and energy method,we rigorously analyze two independent error estimates for the well-prepared and ill-prepared initial data,respectively,which are uniform in both time and space forε∈(0,1]and optimal at the fourth order in space.Numerical results are reported to verify the error behavior.

A high resolution upwind compact streamfunction numerical algorithm for two-dimensional(2D)double-diffusive convection(DDC)is developed.The unsteady Navier-Stokes(N-S)equations in the streamfunction-velocity form and the scalar temperature and concentration equations are used.An optimized third-order upwind compact(UCD3 opt)scheme with a low dispersion error for the first derivatives is utilized to approximate the third derivatives of the streamfunction in the advection terms of the N-S equations and the first derivatives in the advection terms of the scalar temperature and concentration equations.The remaining first derivatives of the streamfunction(velocity),temperature,and concentration variables used in the governing equations are discretized by the fourth-order compact Pade(SCD4)schemes.With the temperature and concentration variables and their approximate values of the first derivatives obtained by the SCD4 schemes,the explicit fourth-order compact schemes are suggested to approximate the second derivatives of temperature and concentration in the diffusion terms of the energy and concentration equations.The discretization of the temporal term is executed with the second-order Crank-Nicolson(C-N)scheme.To assess the spatial behavior capability of the established numerical algorithm and verify the developed computer code,the DDC flow is numerically solved.The obtained results agree well with the benchmark solutions and some accurate results available in the literature,verifying the accuracy,effectiveness,and robustness of the provided algorithm.Finally,a preliminary application of the proposed method to the DDC is carried out.

Fast High Order Algorithm for Three-Dimensional Helmholtz Equation Involving Impedance Boundary Condition with Large Wave Numbers

Acoustic fields with impedance boundary conditions have high engineering applications, such as noise control and evaluation of sound insulation materials, and can be approximated by three-dimensional Helmholtz boundary value problems. Finite difference method is widely applied to solving these problems due to its ease of use. However, when the wave number is large, the pollution effects are still a major difficulty in obtaining accurate numerical solutions. We develop a fast algorithm for solving three-dimensional Helmholtz boundary problems with large wave numbers. The boundary of computational domain is discrete based on high-order compact difference scheme. Using the properties of the tensor product and the discrete Fourier sine transform method, the original problem is solved by splitting it into independent small tridiagonal subsystems. Numerical examples with impedance boundary conditions are used to verify the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed algorithm. Results demonstrate that the algorithm has a fourth- order convergence in and -norms, and costs less CPU calculation time and random access memory.

The convergence property of the compact schemes are analyzed and the implementation of solving the resulting linear algebraic system based on a FFT approach is considered. Numerical results are presented, which support our theoretical predictions.

OPTIMAL POINT-WISE ERROR ESTIMATE OF A COMPACT FINITE DIFFERENCE SCHEME FOR THE COUPLED NONLINEAR SCHRODINGER EQUATIONS

In this paper, we analyze a compact finite difference scheme for computing a coupled nonlinear SchrSdinger equation. The proposed scheme not only conserves the totM mass and energy in the discrete level but also is decoupled and linearized in practical computa- tion. Due to the difficulty caused by compact difference on the nonlinear term, it is very hard to obtain the optimal error estimate without any restriction on the grid ratio. In order to overcome the difficulty, we transform the compact difference scheme into a special and equivalent vector form, then use the energy method and some important lemmas to obtain the optimal convergent rate, without any restriction on the grid ratio, at the order of O（h4 ＋r2） in the discrete L∞ -norm with time step - and mesh size h. Finally, numerical results are reported to test our theoretical results of the proposed scheme.

Study of numerical errors in direct numerical simulation and large eddy simulation

By comparing the energy spectrum and total kinetic energy, the effects of numerical errors （which arise from aliasing and discretization errors）, subgrid-scale （SGS） models, and their interactions on direct numerical simulation （DNS） and large eddy simulation （LES） are investigated, The decaying isotropic turbulence is chosen as the test case. To simulate complex geometries, both the spectral method and Pade compact difference schemes are studied. The truncated Navier-Stokes （TNS） equation model with Pade discrete filter is adopted as the SGS model. It is found that the discretization error plays a key role in DNS. Low order difference schemes may be unsuitable. However, for LES, it is found that the SGS model can represent the effect of small scales to large scales and dump the numerical errors. Therefore, reasonable results can also be obtained with a low order discretization scheme.
