The Convergence of the Spectral Scheme for Solving Two-Dimensional Vorticity Equations

Much work has been done for the spectral scheme of the P.D.E. The author proposed a technique to prove the strict error estimation of the spectral scheme for the K.D.V.-Burgers equation. In this paper, the technique is generalized to two-dimensional vorticity equations. Under some conditions, the error estimation implies the convergence. The more smooth the solution of the vorticity equations, the more accurate the approximate solution.     

The Fourier Pseudospectral Method for Two-Dimensional Vorticity Equations

In this paper we develop a Fourier pseudospectral method forsolving two-dimensional vorticity equations. We prove the generalizedstability of the schemes and give convergence estimations dependingon the smoothness of the solution of the vorticity equations. Spectral methods have been applied widely to the partial differentialequations of fluid dynamics [4–11]. Guo Ben-yu proposeda technique to estimate strictly the error of the spectral schemesfor the K.D.V.-Burgers equation, the two-dimensional vorticityequations, and the Navier-Stokes equations [5,6,8]. On the otherhand, the authors [7,10] developed a pseudospectral method byusing Riesz spherical means to get better results. In this paper,we generalize this method to two-dimensional vorticity equations.The generalized stability and the convergence are proved. Thenumerical results show the advantage of such a method.     

A Spectral Approximation of the Barotropic Vorticity Equation

A spectral scheme is considered for solving the barotropic vorticity equation. The error estimates are proved strictly. The technique used in this paper is also useful for other nonlinear problems defined on a spherical surface.     

The Chebyshev Spectral Method for Burgers-Like Equations

The Chebyshev polynomials have good approximation properties which are not affected by boundary values. They have higher resolution near the boundary than in the interior and are suitable for problems in which the solution changes rapidly near the boundary. Also, they can be calculated by FFT. Thus they are used mostly for initial-boundary value problems for P.D.E.'s (see [1, 3-4, 6, 8-11]). Maday and Quarterom discussed the convergence of Legendre and Chebyshev spectral approximations to the steady Burgers equation. In this paper we consider Burgers-like equations.$$\begin{cases}∂_iu+F(u)_x-vu_{zx}=0, & -1≤x≤1, 0＜t≤T \\ u (-1,t) =u (1,t) =0, & 0≤t≤T & (0.1)\\ u (x,0) =u_0(x), & -1≤x≤1\end{cases}$$ where $F\in C(R)$ and there exists a positive function $A\in C(R)$ and a constant $p＞1$ such that $$|F(z+y)-F(z)|\leq A(z)(|y|+|y|^p).$$ We develop a Chebyshev spectral scheme and a pseudospectral scheme for solving (0.1) and establish their generalized stability and convergence.     

Interval vortex methods

By means of the integral version of vortex equation, the technique of Green's function, and the vorticity‐to‐velocity map, a new kind of interval methods for solving the initial‐periodic boundary value problem of two‐dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equation is introduced, which consists of both an approximate scheme and a set of pointwise intervals covering the exact solution. The convergence theorem corresponding to the scheme is proved, and the order of error width for the two‐sided bounds is also considered. Finally, a simple numerical example illustrates our corroboration. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 30: 1368–1396, 2014     

On the uniqueness of the solution of the two‐dimensional Navier–Stokes equation with a Dirac mass as initial vorticity

We propose two different proofs of the fact that Oseen's vortex is the unique solution of the two‐dimensional Navier–Stokes equation with a Dirac mass as initial vorticity. The first argument, due to C. E. Wayne and the second named author, is based on an entropy estimate for the vorticity equation in self‐similar variables. The second proof is new and relies on symmetrization techniques for parabolic equations. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Spectral-finite element method for solving two-dimensional vorticity equations

In this paper, we construct a spectral-finite element scheme for solving semi-periodical two-dimensional vorticity equations. The error between the genuine solution and approximate solution is estimated strictly. The numerical results show the advantages of such a method. The technique used in this paper can be easily generalized to three-dimensional problems.

An error analysis of the tau method for a class of singularly perturbed problems for differential equations

By using classical results of Poincaré and Birkhoff we discuss the existence and uniqueness of solution for a class of singularly perturbed problems for differential equations. The Tau method formulation of Ortiz [6] is applied to the construction of approximate solutions of these problems. Sharp error bounds are deduced. These error bounds are applied to the discussions of a model problem, a simple one-dimensional analogue of Navier-Stokes equation, which has been considered recently by several authors (see [2], [3], [8], [10]). Numerical results for this problem [8] show that the Tau method leads to more accurate approximations than specially designed finite difference or finite element schemes.

Reduced-order extrapolation spectral-finite difference scheme based on POD method and error estimation for three-dimensional parabolic equation

In this study, a classical spectral-finite difference scheme (SFDS) for the three-dimensional (3D) parabolic equation is reduced by using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and singular value decomposition (SVD). First, the 3D parabolic equation is discretized in spatial variables by using spectral collocation method and the discrete scheme is transformed into matrix formulation by tensor product. Second, the classical SFDS is obtained by difference discretization in time-direction. The ensemble of data are comprised with the first few transient solutions of the classical SFDS for the 3D parabolic equation and the POD bases of ensemble of data are generated by using POD technique and SVD. The unknown quantities of the classical SFDS are replaced with the linear combination of POD bases and a reducedorder extrapolation SFDS with lower dimensions and sufficiently high accuracy for the 3D parabolic equation is established. Third, the error estimates between the classical SFDS solutions and the reduced-order extrapolation SFDS solutions and the implementation for solving the reduced-order extrapolation SFDS are provided. Finally, a numerical example shows that the errors of numerical computations are consistent with the theoretical results. Moreover, it is shown that the reduced-order extrapolation SFDS is effective and feasible to find the numerical solutions for the 3D parabolic equation.     

On some finite difference schemes for solution of hyperbolic heat conduction problems

We consider the accuracy of two finite difference schemes proposed recently in [Roy S., Vasudeva Murthy A.S., Kudenatti R.B., A numerical method for the hyperbolic-heat conduction equation based on multiple scale technique, Appl. Numer. Math., 2009, 59(6), 1419–1430], and [Mickens R.E., Jordan P.M., A positivity-preserving nonstandard finite difference scheme for the damped wave equation, Numer. Methods Partial Differential Equations, 2004, 20(5), 639–649] to solve an initial-boundary value problem for hyperbolic heat transfer equation. New stability and approximation error estimates are proved and it is noted that some statements given in the above papers should be modified and improved. Finally, two robust finite difference schemes are proposed, that can be used for both, the hyperbolic and parabolic heat transfer equations. Results of numerical experiments are presented.     

Integration of barotropic vorticity equation over spherical geodesic grid using multilevel adaptive wavelet collocation method

In this paper, we present the multilevel adaptive wavelet collocation method for solving non-divergent barotropic vorticity equation over spherical geodesic grid. This method is based on multi-dimensional second generation wavelet over a spherical geodesic grid. The method is more useful in capturing, identifying, and analyzing local structure [1] than any other traditional methods (i.e. finite difference, spectral method), because those methods are either full or partial miss important phenomena such as trends, breakdown points, discontinuities in higher derivatives of the solution. Wavelet decomposition is used for interpolation and adaptive grid refinement on different levels.

A conservative difference scheme with optimal pointwise error estimates for two-dimensional space fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equations

In this paper, a linearized semi-implicit finite difference scheme is proposed for solving the two-dimensional (2D) space fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (SFNSE). The scheme has the property of mass and energy conservation at the discrete level, with an unconditional stability and a second-order accuracy for both time and spatial variables. The main contribution of this paper is an optimal pointwise error estimate for the 2D SFNSE, which is rigorously established for the first time. Moreover, a novel technique is proposed for dealing with the nonlinear term in the equation, which plays an essential role in the error estimation. Finally, the numerical results confirm well with the theoretical findings.     

Analysis and convergence of the MAC scheme. II. Navier-Stokes equations

The MAC discretization scheme for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is interpreted as a covolume approximation to the equations. Using some results from earlier papers dealing with covolume error estimates for div-curl equation systems, and under certain conditions on the data and the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, we obtain first-order error estimates for both the vorticity and the pressure.

     

On caustics associated with the linearized vorticity equation

The linearized vorticity equation serves to model a number of wave phenomena in geophysical fluid dynamics. One technique that has been applied to this equation is the geometrical optics, or multi-dimensional WKB technique. Near caustics, this technique does not apply. A related technique that does apply near caustics is the Lagrange Manifold Formalism. Here we apply the Lagrange Manifold Formalism to determine an asymptotic solution of the linearized vorticity equation and to study associated wave phenomena on the caustic curve.     

Numerical study of the transverse stability of the Peregrine solution

We generalize a previously published numerical approach for the one-dimensional (1D) nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation based on a multidomain spectral method on the whole real line in two ways: first, a fully explicit fourth-order method for the time integration, based on a splitting scheme and an implicit Runge-Kutta method for the linear part, is presented. Second, the 1D code is combined with a Fourier spectral method in the transverse variable both for elliptic and hyperbolic NLS equations. As an example we study the transverse stability of the Peregrine solution, an exact solution to the 1D NLS equation and thus a y-independent solution to the 2D NLS. It is shown that the Peregine solution is unstable agains all standard perturbations, and that some perturbations can even lead to a blow-up for the elliptic NLS equation.
