Unconditional stability of a partitioned IMEX method for magnetohydrodynamic flows

چکیده

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows are governed by Navier–Stokes equations coupled with Maxwell equations through coupling terms. We prove the unconditional stability of a partitioned method for the evolutionary full MHD equations, at high magnetic Reynolds number, written in the Elsässer variables. The method we analyze is a first-order onestep scheme, which consists of implicit discretization of the subproblem terms and explicit discretization of the coupling terms. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Unconditional Stability for Multistep ImEx Schemes: Theory

This paper presents a new class of high order linear ImEx multistep schemes with large regions of unconditional stability. Unconditional stability is a desirable property of a time stepping scheme, as it allows the choice of time step solely based on accuracy considerations. Of particular interest are problems for which both the implicit and explicit parts of the ImEx splitting are stiff. Such ...

Unconditional Energy Stability Analysis of a Second Order Implicit-Explicit Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method for the Cahn-Hilliard Equation

Abstract In this article, we present a second-order in time implicit-explicit (IMEX) local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for computing the Cahn-Hilliard equation, which describes the phase separation phenomenon. It is well-known that the Cahn-Hilliard equation has a nonlinear stability property, i.e., the free-energy functional decreases with respect to time. The discretized Cahn-Hilliard...

Analysis of a Second-order, Unconditionally Stable, Partitioned Method for the Evolutionary Stokes-darcy Model

We propose and analyze a partitioned numerical method for the fully evolutionary Stokes-Darcy equations that model the coupling between surface and groundwater flows. The proposed method uncouples the surface from the groundwater flow by using the implicit-explicit combination of the Crank-Nicolson and Leapfrog methods for the discretization in time with added stabilization terms. We prove that...

Stability of partitioned methods for magnetohydrodynamics flows at small magnetic Reynolds number

MHD flows are governed by the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the Maxwell equations. Broadly, MHD flows in astrophysics occur at large magnetic Reynolds numbers while those in terrestrial applications, such as liquid metals, occur at small magnetic Reynolds numbers, the case considered herein. The physical processes of fluid flows and electricity and magnetism are quite different and numer...

High Accuracy Method for Magnetohydrodynamics System in Elsässer Variables

The MHD flows are governed by the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the Maxwell equations through coupling terms. We prove the unconditional stability of a partitioned method for the evolutionary full MHD equations, at high magnetic Reynolds number, in the Elsässer variables. The method we propose is a defect correction second order scheme, and entails the implicit discretization of the subp...
