Analysis of Extended Fisher-Kolmogorov Equation in 2D Utilizing the Generalized Finite Difference Method with Supplementary Nodes

In this study,we propose an efficient numerical framework to attain the solution of the extended Fisher-Kolmogorov(EFK)problem.The temporal derivative in the EFK equation is approximated by utilizing the Crank-Nicolson scheme.Following temporal discretization,the generalized finite difference method(GFDM)with supplementary nodes is utilized to address the nonlinear boundary value problems at each time node.These supplementary nodes are distributed along the boundary to match the number of boundary nodes.By incorporating supplementary nodes,the resulting nonlinear algebraic equations can effectively satisfy the governing equation and boundary conditions of the EFK equation.To demonstrate the efficacy of our approach,we present three numerical examples showcasing its performance in solving this nonlinear problem.

Stability and Time-Step Constraints of Implicit-Explicit Runge-Kutta Methods for the Linearized Korteweg-de Vries Equation

This paper provides a study on the stability and time-step constraints of solving the linearized Korteweg-de Vries(KdV)equation,using implicit-explicit(IMEX)Runge-Kutta(RK)time integration methods combined with either finite difference(FD)or local discontinuous Galerkin(DG)spatial discretization.We analyze the stability of the fully discrete scheme,on a uniform mesh with periodic boundary conditions,using the Fourier method.For the linearized KdV equation,the IMEX schemes are stable under the standard Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy(CFL)conditionτ≤λh.Here,λis the CFL number,τis the time-step size,and h is the spatial mesh size.We study several IMEX schemes and characterize their CFL number as a function ofθ=d/h^(2)with d being the dispersion coefficient,which leads to several interesting observations.We also investigate the asymptotic behaviors of the CFL number for sufficiently refined meshes and derive the necessary conditions for the asymptotic stability of the IMEX-RK methods.Some numerical experiments are provided in the paper to illustrate the performance of IMEX methods under different time-step constraints.

Solution of a One-Dimension Heat Equation Using Higher-Order Finite Difference Methods and Their Stability

One-dimensional heat equation was solved for different higher-order finite difference schemes, namely, forward time and fourth-order centered space explicit method, backward time and fourth-order centered space implicit method, and fourth-order implicit Crank-Nicolson finite difference method. Higher-order schemes have complexity in computing values at the neighboring points to the boundaries. It is required there a specification of the values of field variables at some points exterior to the domain. The complexity was incorporated using Hicks approximation. The convergence and stability analysis was also computed for those higher-order finite difference explicit and implicit methods in case of solving a one dimensional heat equation. The obtained numerical results were compared with exact solutions. It is found that backward time and fourth-order centered space implicit scheme along with Hicks approximation performed well over the other mentioned higher-order approaches.

Stability condition of finite difference solution for viscoelastic wave equations

The stability problem is a very important aspect in seismic wave numerical modeling. Based on the theory of seismic waves and constitutive equations of viscoelastic models, the stability problems of finite difference scheme for Kelvin- Voigt and Maxwell models with rectangular grids are analyzed. Expressions of stability conditions with arbitrary spatial accuracies for two viscoelastic models are derived. With approximation of quality factor Q≥5, simplified expressions are developed and some numerical models are given to verify the validity of the corresponding theoretical results. Then this paper summarizes the influences of seismic wave velocity, frequency, size of grid and difference coefficients, as well as quality factor on stability condition. Finally the prerequisite conditions of the simplified stability equations are given with error analysis.

Finite Difference-Peridynamic Differential Operator for Solving Transient Heat Conduction Problems

Transient heat conduction problems widely exist in engineering.In previous work on the peridynamic differential operator(PDDO)method for solving such problems,both time and spatial derivatives were discretized using the PDDO method,resulting in increased complexity and programming difficulty.In this work,the forward difference formula,the backward difference formula,and the centered difference formula are used to discretize the time derivative,while the PDDO method is used to discretize the spatial derivative.Three new schemes for solving transient heat conduction equations have been developed,namely,the forward-in-time and PDDO in space(FT-PDDO)scheme,the backward-in-time and PDDO in space(BT-PDDO)scheme,and the central-in-time and PDDO in space(CT-PDDO)scheme.The stability and convergence of these schemes are analyzed using the Fourier method and Taylor’s theorem.Results show that the FT-PDDO scheme is conditionally stable,whereas the BT-PDDO and CT-PDDO schemes are unconditionally stable.The stability conditions for the FT-PDDO scheme are less stringent than those of the explicit finite element method and explicit finite difference method.The convergence rate in space for these three methods is two.These constructed schemes are applied to solve one-dimensional and two-dimensional transient heat conduction problems.The accuracy and validity of the schemes are verified by comparison with analytical solutions.

A three-dimensional （3D） predictor-corrector finite difference method for standing wave is developed. It is applied to solve the 3D nonlinear potential flow equa- tions with a free surface. The 3D irregular tank is mapped onto a fixed cubic tank through the proper coordinate transform schemes. The cubic tank is distributed by the staggered meshgrid, and the staggered meshgrid is used to denote the variables of the flow field. The predictor-corrector finite difference method is given to develop the difference equa- tions of the dynamic boundary equation and kinematic boundary equation. Experimental results show that, using the finite difference method of the predictor-corrector scheme, the numerical solutions agree well with the published results. The wave profiles of the standing wave with different amplitudes and wave lengths are studied. The numerical solutions are also analyzed and presented graphically.

A High-Order Semi-Lagrangian Finite Difference Method for Nonlinear Vlasov and BGK Models

In this paper,we propose a new conservative high-order semi-Lagrangian finite difference(SLFD)method to solve linear advection equation and the nonlinear Vlasov and BGK models.The finite difference scheme has better computational flexibility by working with point values,especially when working with high-dimensional problems in an operator splitting setting.The reconstruction procedure in the proposed SLFD scheme is motivated from the SL finite volume scheme.In particular,we define a new sliding average function,whose cell averages agree with point values of the underlying function.By developing the SL finite volume scheme for the sliding average function,we derive the proposed SLFD scheme,which is high-order accurate,mass conservative and unconditionally stable for linear problems.The performance of the scheme is showcased by linear transport applications,as well as the nonlinear Vlasov-Poisson and BGK models.Furthermore,we apply the Fourier stability analysis to a fully discrete SLFD scheme coupled with diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta(DIRK)method when applied to a stiff two-velocity hyperbolic relaxation system.Numerical stability and asymptotic accuracy properties of DIRK methods are discussed in theoretical and computational aspects.
