The primary aim of this paper is to answer the question: what are the highest-order fiveor nine-point compact finite difference schemes? To answer this question, we present several simple derivations of finite difference schemes for the oneand two-dimensional Poisson equation on uniform, quasi-uniform, and non-uniform face-to-face hyper-rectangular grids and directly prove the existence or non-...

A system of coupled singularly perturbed initial value problems with a small parameter is considered. The solution to the system have boundary layers. The structure of these layers is analyzed, and this leads to the construction of a piecewise-uniform Shishkin mesh. On this mesh a hybrid finite difference scheme is proved to be almost second-order accurate, uniformly in the small parameter. Num...

We introduce a simple finite difference scheme for the elliptic interface problem. The scheme is symmetric, definite and monotone with second order accuracy. It is also quite naturally adapted to corner singularities. A simple adaptive strategy yields competitive performance even in the severe case of intersecting interfaces.

in this paper, a numerical solution of an inverse non-dimensional heat conduction problem by spline method will be considered. the given heat conduction equation, the boundary condition, and the initial condition are presented in a dimensionless form. a set of temperature measurements at a single sensor location inside the heat conduction body is required. the result show that the proposed meth...

nowadays deep excavations are needed for construction of foundation of high rise buildings, providing space for parking and etc. in some cases deep excavations may be constructed in the vicinity of the subway tunnels and causes unpredicted extra displacements and internal forces in tunnel lining of tunnels which were not designed for them and consequently affect serviceability of tunnel. theref...

A numerical method of determining the wire sag in a multiwire proportional chamber used in RICH [1] by solving the second order differential equation which governs the wire stability has been presented. The three point Finite Difference Method (FDM) has generated a tridiagonal matrix equation relating the deflection of wire segments to the force acting on it. The precise estimates of electrosta...

In this paper, a spectral collocation approach based on the rational Chebyshev functions for solving the axisymmetric stagnation point flow on an infinite stationary circular cylinder is suggested. The Navier-Stokes equations which govern the flow, are changed to a boundary value problem with a semi-infinite domain and a third-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation by applying proper si...

Now-a-days computational fluid mechanics has become very vital area in which obtained governing equations are differential equations. Sometimes, these governing equations cannot be easily solved by existing analytical methods. Due to this reason, we use various numerical techniques to find out approximate solution for such problems. Among these techniques, finite volume method is also being use...
