Pressure‐based adaption indicator for compressible euler equations

We consider the Euler equations of gas dynamics and develop a new adaption indicator, which is based on the weak local residual measured for the nonconservative pressure variable. We demonstrate that the proposed indicator is capable of automatically detecting discontinuities and distinguishing between the shock and contact waves when they are isolated from each other. We then use the developed indicator to design a scheme adaption algorithm, according to which nonlinear limiters are used only in the vicinity of shocks. The new adaption algorithm is realized using a second‐order limited and a high‐order nonlimited central‐upwind scheme. We demonstrate robustness and high resolution of the designed method on a number of one‐ and two‐dimensional numerical examples. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A MUSCL smoothed particles hydrodynamics for compressible multi‐material flows

By incorporating the Monotone Upwind Scheme of Conservation Law (MUSCL) scheme into the smoothed particles hydrodynamics (SPH) method and making use of an interparticle contact algorithm, we present a MUSCL–SPH scheme of second order for multifluid computations, which extends the Riemann‐solved‐based SPH method. The numerical tests demonstrate high accuracy and resolution of the scheme for both shocks, contact discontinuities, and rarefaction waves in the one‐dimensional shock tube problem. For the two‐dimensional cylindrical Noh and shock‐bubble interaction problems, the MUSCL–SPH scheme can resolve shocks well. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Relaxation WENO schemes for multidimensional hyperbolic systems of conservation laws

We present a class of high‐order weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) reconstructions based on relaxation approximation of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. The main advantage of combining the WENO schemes with relaxation approximation is the fact that the presented schemes avoid solution of the Riemann problems due to the relaxation approach and high‐resolution is obtained by applying the WENO approach. The emphasis is on a fifth‐order scheme and its performance for solving a wide class of systems of conservation laws. To show the effectiveness of these methods, we present numerical results for different test problems on multidimensional hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Front tracking and two-dimensional Riemann problems

A substantial improvement in resolution has been achieved for the computation of jump discontinuities in gas dynamics using the method of front tracking. The essential feature of this method is that a lower dimensional grid is fitted to and follows the discontinuous waves. At the intersection points of these discontinuities, two-dimensional Riemann problems occur. In this paper we study such two-dimensional Riemann problems from both numerical and theoretical points of view. Specifically included is a numerical solution for the Mach reflection, a general classification scheme for two-dimensional elementary waves, and a discussion of problems and conjectures in this area.     

$\delta-$Wave for 1-D and 2-D Hyperbolic Systems

Here a new kind of nonlinear wave, which is called $\delta-$wave, is described by some high resolution difference solutions for Riemann problems of one-dimensional (1-D) and two-dimensional (2-D) nonlinear hyperbolic systems in conservation laws. Some phenomena are numerically shown for the solutions of Riemann problems for 2-D gas dynamics systems.     

Computation of discontinuous solutions of fluid dynamics equations with entropy nondecrease guarantee

A new formulation of the Godunov scheme with linear Riemann problems is proposed that guarantees a nondecrease in entropy. The new version of the method is described for the simplest example of one-dimensional gas dynamics in Lagrangian coordinates.     

High‐order characteristic‐tracking strategy for simulation of a nonlinear advection–diffusion equation

In this study, new high‐order backward semi‐Lagrangian methods are developed to solve nonlinear advection–diffusion type problems, which are realized using high‐order characteristic‐tracking strategies. The proposed characteristic‐tracking strategies are second‐order L‐stable and third‐order L(α)‐stable methods, which are based on a classical implicit multistep method combined with a error‐correction method. We also use backward differentiation formulas and the fourth‐order finite‐difference scheme for diffusion problem discretization in the temporal and spatial domains, respectively. To demonstrate the adaptability and efficiency of these time‐discretization strategies, we apply these methods to nonlinear advection–diffusion type problems such as the viscous Burgers' equation. Through simulations, not only the temporal and spatial accuracies are numerically evaluated but also the proposed methods are shown to be superior to the compared existing characteristic‐tracking methods under the same rates of convergence in terms of accuracy and efficiency. Finally, we have shown that the proposed method well preserves the energy and mass when the viscosity coefficient becomes zero.     

A backward Euler alternating direction implicit difference scheme for the three‐dimensional fractional evolution equation

A backward Euler alternating direction implicit (ADI) difference scheme is formulated and analyzed for the three‐dimensional fractional evolution equation. In our method, the Riemann‐Liouville fractional integral term is treated by means of first order convolution quadrature suggested by Lubich. Meanwhile, an ADI technique is adopted to reduce the multidimensional problem to a series of one‐dimensional problems. A fully discrete difference scheme is constructed with space discretization by finite difference method. Two new inner products and corresponding norms are defined to analyze the scheme. The verification of stability and convergence is based on the nonnegative character of the real quadratic form associated with the convolution quadrature. Numerical experiments are reported to demonstrate the efficiency of our scheme.     

Boundary‐value problems for the third‐order loaded equation with noncharacteristic type‐change boundaries

Moreover, the method of integral equations is applied to obtain an equation related to the Riemann‐Liouville operators.     

Singly diagonally implicit runge‐kutta method for time‐dependent reaction‐diffusion equation

In this article, an efficient fourth‐order accurate numerical method based on Padé approximation in space and singly diagonally implicit Runge‐Kutta method in time is proposed to solve the time‐dependent one‐dimensional reaction‐diffusion equation. In this scheme, we first approximate the spatial derivative using the second‐order central finite difference then improve it to fourth‐order by applying Padé approximation. A three stage fourth‐order singly diagonally implicit Runge‐Kutta method is then used to solve the resulting system of ordinary differential equations. It is also shown that the scheme is unconditionally stable, and is suitable for stiff problems. Several numerical examples are solved by the scheme and the efficiency and accuracy of the new scheme are compared with two widely used high‐order compact finite difference methods. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A third-order semi-discrete genuinely multidimensional central scheme for hyperbolic conservation laws and related problems

Summary. We construct a new third-order semi-discrete genuinely multidimensional central scheme for systems of conservation laws and related convection-diffusion equations. This construction is based on a multidimensional extension of the idea, introduced in [17] – the use of more precise information about the local speeds of propagation, and integration over nonuniform control volumes, which contain Riemann fans. As in the one-dimensional case, the small numerical dissipation, which is independent of , allows us to pass to a limit as . This results in a particularly simple genuinely multidimensional semi-discrete scheme. The high resolution of the proposed scheme is ensured by the new two-dimensional piecewise quadratic non-oscillatory reconstruction. First, we introduce a less dissipative modification of the reconstruction, proposed in [29]. Then, we generalize it for the computation of the two-dimensional numerical fluxes. Our scheme enjoys the main advantage of the Godunov-type central schemes –simplicity, namely it does not employ Riemann solvers and characteristic decomposition. This makes it a universal method, which can be easily implemented to a wide variety of problems. In this paper, the developed scheme is applied to the Euler equations of gas dynamics, a convection-diffusion equation with strongly degenerate diffusion, the incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. These numerical experiments demonstrate the desired accuracy and high resolution of our scheme. Received February 7, 2000 / Published online December 19, 2000     

The dual reciprocity boundary elements method for the linear and nonlinear two‐dimensional time‐fractional partial differential equations

In this paper, we apply the dual reciprocity boundary elements method for the numerical solution of two‐dimensional linear and nonlinear time‐fractional modified anomalous subdiffusion equations and time‐fractional convection–diffusion equation. The fractional derivative of problems is described in the Riemann–Liouville and Caputo senses. We employ the linear radial basis function for interpolation of the nonlinear, inhomogeneous and time derivative terms. This method is improved by using a predictor–corrector scheme to overcome the nonlinearity which appears in the nonlinear problems under consideration. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed schemes are checked by five test problems. The proposed method is employed for solving some examples in two dimensions on unit square and also in complex regions to demonstrate the efficiency of the new technique.

Central ADER schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws

In this paper we first briefly review the very high order ADER methods for solving hyperbolic conservation laws. ADER methods use high order polynomial reconstruction of the solution and upwind fluxes as the building block. They use a first order upwind Godunov and the upwind second order weighted average (WAF) fluxes. As well known the upwind methods are more accurate than central schemes. However, the superior accuracy of the ADER upwind schemes comes at a cost, one must solve exactly or approximately the Riemann problems (RP). Conventional Riemann solvers are usually complex and are not available for many hyperbolic problems of practical interest. In this paper we propose to use two central fluxes, instead of upwind fluxes, as the building block in ADER scheme. These are the monotone first order Lax-Friedrich (LXF) and the third order TVD flux. The resulting schemes are called central ADER schemes. Accuracy of the new schemes is established. Numerical implementations of the new schemes are carried out on the scalar conservation laws with a linear flux, nonlinear convex flux and non-convex flux. The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme, with LXF flux, is comparable to those using first and second order upwind fluxes while the scheme, with third order TVD flux, is superior to those using upwind fluxes. When compared with the state of art ADER schemes, our central ADER schemes are faster, more accurate, Riemann solver free, very simple to implement and need less computer memory. A way to extend these schemes to general systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws in one and two dimensions is presented.     

High‐resolution monotone schemes based on quasi‐characteristics technique

In this article, we consider a new technique that allows us to overcome the well‐known restriction of Godunov's theorem. According to Godunov's theorem, a second‐order explicit monotone scheme does not exist. The techniques in the construction of high‐resolution schemes with monotone properties near the discontinuities of the solution lie in choosing of one of two high‐resolution numerical solutions computed on different stencils. The criterion for choosing the final solution is proposed. Results of numerical tests that compare with the exact solution and with the numerical solution obtained by the first‐order monotone scheme are presented. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

N solutions for a derivative nonlinear Schrödinger‐type equation via Riemann‐Hilbert approach

The inverse scattering transform for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger‐type equation is studied via the Riemann‐Hilbert approach. In the direct scattering process, the spectral analysis of the Lax pair is performed, from which a Riemann‐Hilbert problem is established for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger‐type equation. In the inverse scattering process, N‐soliton solutions of the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger‐type equation are obtained by solving Riemann‐Hilbert problems corresponding to the reflectionless cases. Moreover, the dynamics of the exact solutions are discussed.     

An efficient TVD‐WENO method for conservation laws

In this article, we present a high‐resolution hybrid scheme for solving hyperbolic conservation laws in one and two dimensions. In this scheme, we use a cheap fourth order total variation diminishing (TVD) scheme for smooth region and expensive seventh order weighted nonoscillatory (WENO) scheme near discontinuities. To distinguish between the smooth parts and discontinuities, we use an efficient adaptive multiresolution technique. For time integration, we use the third order TVD Runge‐Kutta scheme. The accuracy of the resulting hybrid high order scheme is comparable with these of WENO, but with significant decrease of the CPU cost. Numerical demonstrates that the proposed scheme is comparable to the high order WENO scheme and superior to the fourth order TVD scheme. Our scheme has the added advantage of simplicity and computational efficiency. Numerical tests are presented which show the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.© 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2009     

A new combined finite element‐upwind finite volume method for convection‐dominated diffusion problems

In this article, we develop a combined finite element‐weighted upwind finite volume method for convection‐dominated diffusion problems in two dimensions, which discretizes the diffusion term with the standard finite element scheme, and the convection and source terms with the weighted upwind finite volume scheme. The developed method leads to a totally new scheme for convection‐dominated problems, which overcomes numerical oscillation, avoids numerical dispersion, and has high‐order accuracy. Stability analyses of the scheme are given for the problems with constant coefficients. Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the stability and optimal convergence of our proposed method. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Modified method of splitting with respect to physical processes for solving radiation gas dynamics equations

An approach based on a modified splitting method is proposed for solving the radiation gas dynamics equations in the multigroup kinetic approximation. The idea of the approach is that the original system of equations is split using the thermal radiation transfer equation rather than the energy equation. As a result, analytical methods can be used to solve integrodifferential equations and problems can be computed in the multigroup kinetic approximation without iteration with respect to the collision integral or matrix inversion. Moreover, the approach can naturally be extended to multidimensional problems. A high-order accurate difference scheme is constructed using an approximate Godunov solver for the Riemann problem in two-temperature gas dynamics.     

High‐order numerical methods for one‐dimensional parabolic singularly perturbed problems with regular layers

In this work we construct and analyze some finite difference schemes used to solve a class of time‐dependent one‐dimensional convection‐diffusion problems, which present only regular layers in their solution. We use the implicit Euler or the Crank‐Nicolson method to discretize the time variable and a HODIE finite difference scheme, defined on a piecewise uniform Shishkin mesh, to discretize the spatial variable. In both cases we prove that the numerical method is uniformly convergent with respect to the diffusion parameter, having order near two in space and order one or 3/2, depending on the method used, in time. We show some numerical examples which illustrate the theoretical results, in the case of using the Euler implicit method, and give better numerical behaviour than that predicted theoretically, showing order two in time and order N^?2log²N in space, if the Crank‐Nicolson scheme is used to discretize the time variable. Finally, we construct a numerical algorithm by combining a third order A‐stable SDIRK with two stages and a third‐order HODIE difference scheme, showing its uniformly convergent behavior, reaching order three, up to a logarithmic factor. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
