In this paper, a discrete singular convolution (DSC) algorithm is introduced to solve Fisher’s equation, to which obtaining an accurate and reliable traveling wave solution is a challenging numerical problem. Two novel numerical treatments, a moving frame scheme and a new asymptotic scheme, are designed to overcome the subtle difficulties involved in the numerical solution of Fisher’s equation....

In this paper, we give a fourth-order compact finite difference scheme for the general forms of two point boundary value problems and two dimensional elliptic partial differential equations (PDE’s). By decomposing the coefficient matrix into a sum of several matrixes after we discretize the original problem, we can obtain a lower bound for the smallest eigenvalue of the coefficient matrix. Thus...

We develop and demonstrate a computationally efficient numerical splitting technique for solving the reaction–diffusion equation. The scheme is based on the Strang splitting technique wherein the portions of the governing equations containing stiff chemical reaction terms are separated from those parts containing the less-stiff transport terms. As demonstrated, the scheme achieves second-order ...

Numerical methods for the primitive equations (PEs) of oceanic flow are presented in this paper. First, a two-dimensional Poisson equation with a suitable boundary condition is derived to solve the surface pressure. Consequently, we derive a new formulation of the PEs in which the surface pressure Poisson equation replaces the nonlocal incompressibility constraint, which is known to be inconven...

This paper formulates and analyzes a weak solution to the coupling of time-dependent Navier-Stokes flow with Darcy flow under certain boundary conditions, one of them being the Beaver-Joseph-Saffman law on the interface. Existence and a priori estimates for the weak solution are shown under additional regularity assumptions. We introduce a fully discrete scheme with the unknowns being the Navie...

Burgers equation is a simplified form of the Navier-Stokes equation that represents the non-linear features of it. In this paper, the transient two-dimensional non-linear Burgers equation is solved using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). The results are compared with the Modified Local Crank-Nicolson method (MLCN) and exact solutions. The LBM has been emerged as a new numerical method for sol...

The Crank-Nicolson (CN) simulation method has an oscillatory response to sharp initial transients. The technique is convenient but the oscillations make it less popular. Several ways of damping the oscillations in two types of electrochemical computations are investigated. For a simple one-dimensional system with an initial singularity, subdivision of the first time interval into a number of eq...
