Methods for wave equation prestack depth migration and numerical experiments

In this paper the methods of wave theory based prestack depth migration and their implementation are studied. Using the splitting of wave operator, the wavefield extrapolation equations are deduced and the numerical schemes are presented. The numerical tests for SEG/EAEG model with MPI are performed on the PC-cluster. The numerical results show that the methods of single-shot (common-shot) migration and synthesized-shot migration are of practical values and can be applied to field data processing of 3D prestack depth migration.     

Galerkin finite element methods for two-dimensional RLW and SRLW equations

In this paper, Galerkin finite methods for two-dimensional regularized long wave and symmetric regularized long wave equation are studied. The discretization in space is by Galerkin finite element method and in time is based on linearized backward Euler formula and extrapolated Crank–Nicolson scheme. Existence and uniqueness of the numerical solutions have been shown by Brouwer fixed point theorem. The error estimates of linearlized Crank–Nicolson method for RLW and SRLW equations are also presented. Numerical experiments, including the error norms and conservation variables, verify the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed numerical schemes.     

Linear B-spline finite element method for the improved Boussinesq equation

In this paper, we develop and validate a numerical procedure for solving a class of initial boundary value problems for the improved Boussinesq equation. The finite element method with linear B-spline basis functions is used to discretize the nonlinear partial differential equation in space and derive a second order system involving only ordinary derivatives. It is shown that the coefficient matrix for the second order term in this system is invertible. Consequently, for the first time, the initial boundary value problem can be reduced to an explicit initial value problem to which many accurate numerical methods are readily applicable. Various examples are presented to validate this technique and demonstrate its capacity to simulate wave splitting, wave interaction and blow-up behavior.     

Analytical and numerical solutions of mathematical biology models: The Newell-Whitehead-Segel and Allen-Cahn equations

In this paper, we combine the unified and the explicit exponential finite difference methods to obtain both analytical and numerical solutions for the Newell-Whitehead-Segel–type equations which are very important in mathematical biology. The unified method is utilized to obtain various solitary wave solutions for these equations. Numerical solutions of the specific case studies are investigated by using the explicit exponential finite difference method ensures the accuracy and reliability of the proposed scheme. After obtaining the approximate solutions, convergence analysis and error estimation (the error norms and absolute errors) are presented by comparing these results with the analytical obtained solutions and other methods in the literature through tables and graphs. The obtained analytical and numerical results are in good agreement.     

Newton's method for stochastic semilinear wave equations driven by multiplicative time-space noise

Semilinear wave equations with additive or one-dimensional noise are treatable by various iterative and numerical methods. We study more difficult models of semilinear wave equations with infinite dimensional multiplicative spatially correlated noise. Our proof of probabilistic second-order convergence of some iterative methods is based on Da Prato and Zabczyk's maximal inequalities.     

Series solutions of a semilinear wave equation

We are concerned with the reconstruction of series solutions of a semilinear wave equation with a quadratic nonlinearity. The solution which may blow up in finite time is sought as a sum of exponential functions and is shown to be a classical one. The constructed solutions can be used to benchmark numerical methods used to approximate solutions of nonlinear equations.     

Multiscale asymptotic expansions and numerical algorithms for the wave equations of second order with rapidly oscillating coefficients

In this paper, we discuss the multiscale analysis and numerical algorithms for the wave equations of second order with rapidly oscillating coefficients. The formal multiscale asymptotic expansions of the solutions for these problems in four specific cases are presented. Higher order corrector methods are constructed and associated explicit convergence rates are obtained in some cases. A multiscale numerical method and a symplectic geometric scheme are introduced. Finally, some numerical results and unsolved problems are presented, and these numerical results support strongly the convergence theorem of this paper.     

Nonstandard perturbation approximation and travelling wave solutions of nonlinear reaction diffusion equations

This paper deals with the construction of a nonstandard numerical method to compute the travelling wave solutions of nonlinear reaction diffusion equations at high wave speeds. Related general properties are studied using the perturbation approximation. At high wave speed the perturbation parameter approaches to zero and the problem exhibits a multiscale character. That is, there are thin layers where the solution varies rapidly, while away from these layers the solution behaves regularly and varies slowly. Most of the conventional methods fail to capture this layer behavior. Thus, the quest for some new numerical techniques that may handle the travelling wave solutions at high wave speeds earns relevance. In this paper, one such parameter robust nonstandard numerical scheme is constructed, in the sense that its numerical solution converges in the maximum norm to the exact solution uniformly well for all finite wave speeds. To overcome the difficulty due to the nonlinearity, the problem is linearized using the quasilinearization process followed by nonstandard finite difference discretization. An extensive amount of analysis is carried out which uses a suitable decomposition of the error into smooth and singular component and a comparison principle combined with appropriate barrier functions. The error estimates are obtained, which ensures uniform convergence of the method. A set of numerical experiment is carried out in support of the predicted theory that validates computationally the theoretical results. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

一维高精度离散GDQ方法

GDQ method is a kind of high order accurate numerical methods developed several years ago, which have been successfully used to simulate the solution of smooth engineering problems such as structure mechanics and incompressible fluid dynamics. In this paper, extending the traditional GDQ method, we develop a new kind of discontinuous GDQ methods to solve compressible flow problems of which solutions may be discontinuous. In order to capture the local features of fluid flows, firstly, the computational domain is divided into many small pieces of subdomains. Then, in each small subdomain, the GDQ method is implementedand some kinds of numerical flux limitation conditions will be required to keep the correct flow direction. At the boundary interface between subdomains, we also use some kind of flux conditions according to the flow direction. The numerical method obtained by the above steps has the advantages of high order accuracy and easy to treat boundary conditions. It can simulate perfectly nonlinear waves such as shock, rarefaction wave and contact discontinuity. Finally, the numerical experiments on one dimensional Burgers equation and Euler equations are given.The numerical results verify the validation of the method.     

Finite difference method combined with differential quadrature method for numerical computation of the modified equal width wave equation

The aim of this study is to improve the numerical solution of the modified equal width wave equation. For this purpose, finite difference method combined with differential quadrature method with Rubin and Graves linearizing technique has been used. Modified cubic B‐spline base functions are used as base function. By the combination of two numerical methods and effective linearizing technique high accurate numerical algorithm is obtained. Three main test problems are solved for various values of the coefficients. To observe the performance of the present method, the error norms of the single soliton problem which has analytical solution are calculated. Besides these error norms, three invariants are reported. Comparison of the results displays that our algorithm produces superior results than those given in the literature.     

Self-adaptive FEM numerical modeling of the mild-slope equation

Based on the linear wave theory, the mild-slope equation (MSE) is a preferred mathematical model to simulate nearshore wave propagation. A numerical model to solve the MSE is developed here on the basis of a self-adaptive finite element model (FEM) combined with an iterative method to determine the wave direction angle to the boundary and thus to improve the treatment of the boundary conditions. The numerical resolution of the waves into ideal domains and multidirectional waves through a breakwater gap shows that the numerical model developed here is effective in representing wave absorption at the absorbing boundaries and can be used to simulate multidirectional wave propagation. Finally, the simulated wave distribution in a real harbor shows that the numerical model can be used for engineering practice.

Singular boundary method based on time‐dependent fundamental solutions for active noise control

Active noise control is an efficient strategy of noise control. A numerical wave shielding model to inhibit wave propagation, which can be considered as an extension of traditional active noise control, is established using the singular boundary method using time‐dependent fundamental solutions in this study. Two empirical formulas to evaluate the origin intensity factors with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are derived respectively. In comparison with other similar numerical methods, the method can obtain highly accurate results using very few boundary nodes and small CPU time. These meet the major technical requirements of simulation of active noise control. The subsequent numerical experiments show that the proposed model can shield efficiently from the wave propagation for both inner and exterior problems. By applying the newly derived empirical formulas, the CPU time of the singular boundary method is further reduced significantly, which makes the method a competitive new and efficient meshless method. In addition, the singular boundary method makes active noise control in an online manner via time‐dependent fundamental solutions as its basis functions.

In this paper, discrete-time orthogonal spline collocation schemes are proposed for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with wave operator. These schemes are constructed by using orthogonal spline collocation approaches combined with finite difference methods.

In addition, some interesting phenomena which require further theoretical analysis are discussed numerically.     

A hybrid numerical method for the shallow water equations with source term

In coastal oceanography there is interest in problems modeled by the shallow water equations, where variations in channel depth are accounted for by the presence of source terms. A numerical treatment for the solution of such problems is presented here, in terms of a hybrid approach, which combines a second-order TVD scheme for conservation law equations (assuming no source terms) with an eigenvector projection scheme that incorporates the effects of nonzero source terms (in regions where the bottom is not flat). For the case where an initially sharp wave profile is assumed, the progress of a wave as it traverses an estuary whose channel depth varies is calculated. Excellent numerical results are obtained. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

High‐order energy‐preserving schemes for the improved Boussinesq equation

This article proposes a class of high‐order energy‐preserving schemes for the improved Boussinesq equation. To derive the energy‐preserving schemes, we first discretize the improved Boussinesq equation by Fourier pseudospectral method, which leads to a finite‐dimensional Hamiltonian system. Then, the obtained semidiscrete system is solved by Hamiltonian boundary value methods, which is a newly developed class of energy‐preserving methods. The proposed schemes can reach spectral precision in space, and in time can reach second‐order, fourth‐order, and sixth‐order accuracy, respectively. Moreover, the proposed schemes can conserve the discrete mass and energy to within machine precision. Furthermore, to show the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed methods, the proposed methods are compared with the finite difference methods and the finite volume element method. The results of several numerical experiments are given for the propagation of the single solitary wave, the interaction of two solitary waves and the wave break‐up.

Numerical solutions and stability analysis for solitary waves of complex modified Korteweg–de Vries equation using Chebyshev pseudospectral methods

In this research article, the authors investigate the interaction of solitary waves for complex modified Korteweg–de Vries (CMKdV) equations using Chebyshev pseudospectral methods. The proposed method is established in both time and space to approximate the solutions and to prove the stability analysis for the equations. The derivative matrices are defined at Chebyshev–Gauss–Lobbato points and the problem is reduced to a diagonally block system of coupled nonlinear equations. For numerical experiments, the method is tested on a number of different examples to study the behavior of interaction of two and more than two solitary waves, single solitary wave at different amplitude parameters and different polarization angles. Numerical results support the theoretical results. A comprehensive comparison of numerical results with the exact solutions and other numerical methods are presented. The rate of convergence of the proposed method is obtained up to seventh-order.
