Time-discretization of a plasma-neutral MHD model with a semi-implicit leapfrog algorithm

Semi-Implicit Time-Discretization Schemes for the Bidomain Model

The bidomain model is a system of partial differential equations used to model the propagation of electrical potential waves in the myocardium. It is composed of coupled parabolic and elliptic partial differential equations, as well as at least one ordinary differential equation to model the ion activity through the cardiac cell membranes. The purpose of this paper is to propose and analyze sev...

Analysis of a regularized, time-staggered discretization method and its link to the semi-implicit method

A key aspect of the recently proposed Hamiltonian Particle-Mesh (HPM) method is its time-staggered discretization combined with a regularization of the continuous governing equations. In this paper, the time discretization aspect of the HPM method is analysed for the linearized, rotating, shallow-water equations with orography and the combined effect of time-staggering and regularization is com...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Semi-Implicit Time Differencing

The basic ideas of semi-implicit time differencing are reviewed, including analytical results not widely referenced in the meteorological literature. It is shown that solving the resulting implicit equations by simple fixed-point iteration requires a relatively small time step to guarantee convergence, thus defeating the purpose of the semiimplicit method. In contrast, classical iteration metho...
