The flux reconstruction approach to high-order methods is robust, efficient, simple to implement, and allows various high-order schemes, such as the nodal discontinuous Galerkin method and the spectral difference method, to be cast within a single unifying framework. Utilizing a flux reconstruction formulation, it has been proved (for onedimensional linear advection) that the spectral differenc...

The formulation and implementation of wavelet based methods for the solution of multidimensional partial differential equations in complex geometries is discussed. Utilizing the close connection between Daubechies wavelets and finite difference methods on arbitrary grids, we formulate a wavelet based collocation method, well suited for dealing with general boundary conditions and nonlinearities...

While second order methods for computational simulations of fluid flow provide the basis of widely used commercial software, there is a need for higher order methods for more accurate simulations of turbulent and vortex dominated flows. The discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method is the subject of much current research toward this goal. The spectral difference (SD) method has recently emerged as a p...

A dynamically adaptive numerical method for solving multi-dimensional evolution problems with localized structures is developed. The method is based on the general class of multi-dimensional second-generation wavelets and is an extension of the second-generation wavelet collocation method of Vasilyev and Bowman to two and higher dimensions and irregular sampling intervals. Wavelet decomposition...

A new approach to the numerical solution of systems of first-order ordinary differential equations is given by finding local Galerkin approximations on each subinterval of a given mesh of size h. One step at a time, a piecewise polynomial, of degree n and class C°, is constructed, which yields an approximation of order 0(A*") at the mesh points and 0(A"+1) between mesh points. In addition, the ...

In this paper, an efficient numerical schemes based on the Haar wavelet method are applied for finding numerical solution of nonlinear third-order modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation as well as modified Burgers’ equations. The numerical results are then compared with the exact solutions. The accuracy of the obtained solutions is quite high even if the number of calculation points is small.
