Upwind schemes for the wave equation in second-order form
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop new high-order accurate upwind schemes for the wave equation in second-order form. These schemes are developed directly for the equations in second-order form, as opposed to transforming the equations to a first-order hyperbolic system. The schemes are based on the solution to a local Riemann-type problem that uses d’Alembert’s exact solution. We construct conservative finite difference approximations, although finite volume approximations are also possible. High-order accuracy is obtained using a space-time procedure which requires only two discrete time levels. The advantages of our approach include efficiency in both memory and speed together with accuracy and robustness. The stability and accuracy of the approximations in one and two space dimensions are studied through normal-mode analysis. The form of the dissipation and dispersion introduced by the schemes is elucidated from the modified equations. Upwind schemes are implemented and verified in one dimension for approximations up to sixth-order accuracy, and in two dimensions for approximations up to fourth-order accuracy. Numerical computations demonstrate the attractive properties of the approach for solutions with varying degrees of smoothness.

The comparison of two high-order semi-discrete central schemes for solving hyperbolic conservation laws
This work presents two high-order, semi-discrete, central-upwind schemes for computing approximate solutions of 1D systems of conservation laws. We propose a central weighted essentially non-oscillatory (CWENO) reconstruction, also we apply a fourth-order reconstruction proposed by Peer et al., and afterwards, we combine these reconstructions with a semi-discrete central-upwind numerical flux ...

Direct numerical simulation of the receptivity of hy-personic boundary-layers to freestream disturbances requires high-order accurate numerical methods to resolve a wide range of time and length scales. Traditional second-order nite diierence schemes do not have an adequate accuracy level for the direct numerical simulation. In addition, hypersonic ow simulation needs to resolve unsteady bow sh...

The spectral action balance equation is an equation that used to simulate short-crested wind-generated waves in shallow water areas such as coastal regions and inland waters. This equation consists of two spatial dimensions, wave direction, and wave frequency which can be solved by finite difference method. When this equation with dominating convection term are discretized using central differe...
متن کاملCentral-Upwind Schemes for the Boussinesq Paradigm Equations
We develop a new accurate and robust numerical method for the Boussinesq paradigm equation (BPE). To design the method we first introduce a change of variables, for which the BPE takes the form of a nonlinear wave equation with the global pressure, and rewrite the wave equation as a system of conservation laws with a global flux. We then apply a Godunov-type central-upwind scheme together with ...

BACKGROUND The finite volume solver Fluent (Lebanon, NH, USA) is a computational fluid dynamics software employed to analyse biological mass-transport in the vasculature. A principal consideration for computational modelling of blood-side mass-transport is convection-diffusion discretisation scheme selection.
