Finite-differences methods such as the Lax-Wendroff method (LW) are commonly used to solve 1D models of blood flow. These models solve for blood flow and lumen area and are useful in disease research, such as hypertension and atherosclerosis, where flow and pressure are good indicators for the presence of disease. Despite the popularity of the LW method to solve the blood flow equations, no imp...

In this paper, we consider linear stability issues for one-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws using a class of conservative high order upwind-biased finite difference schemes, which is a prototype for the weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes, for initial-boundary value problems (IBVP). The inflow boundary is treated by the so-called inverse Lax-Wendroff (ILW) or simplified ...

One cycle of a composite finite difference scheme is defined as several time steps of an oscillatory scheme such as Lax–Wendroff followed by one step of a diffusive scheme such as Lax–Friedrichs. We apply this idea to gas dynamics in Lagrangian coordinates. We show numerical results in two dimensions for Noh’s infinite strength shock problem and the Sedov blast wave problem, and for several one...

Abstract — An upwind and a Lax-Wendroff scheme are introduced for the solution of a one dimensional non-local problem modelling Ohmic heating of Foods. The schemes are studied regarding their consistency, stability and the rate of convergence for the cases that the problem attains a global solution in time. A high resolution scheme is also introduced and it is shown that it is total-variation-s...

Spurious currents near an interface between different phases are a common undesirable feature of the lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) method for two-phase systems. In this paper, we show that the spurious currents of a kinetic theory-based LBE have a significant dependence on the parity of the grid number of the underlying lattice, which can be attributed to the chequerboard effect. A technique...

In this paper we present a new algorithm based on a Cartesian mesh for the numerical approximation of kinetic models on complex geometry boundary. Due to the high dimensional property, numerical algorithms based on unstructured meshes for a complex geometry are not appropriate. Here we propose to develop an inverse Lax-Wendroff procedure, which was recently introduced for conservation laws [21]...
