We propose a novel high resolution conservative advection scheme that is suitable for thin, embedded moving solid structures. The scheme works by coupling together a high order flux-based method with a conservative semi-Lagrangian solver that is similar in spirit to that of [26], but modified to treat the cut cells and partial volumes that arise near a thin solid structure. The conservative sem...

In this paper, a Chebyshev finite difference method has been proposed in order to solve nonlinear two-point boundary value problems for second order nonlinear differential equations. A problem arising from chemical reactor theory is then considered. The approach consists of reducing the problem to a set of algebraic equations. This method can be regarded as a non-uniform finite difference schem...

In this paper a finite difference method for solving 2-dimensional diffusion equation is presented. The method employs Crank-Nicolson scheme to improve finite difference formulation and its convergence and stability. The obtained solution will be a recursive formula in each step of which a system of linear equations should be solved. Given the specific form of obtained matrices, rather than sol...

This paper presents a simple and computationally-efficient algorithm for solving steady two-dimensional subsonic and transonic compressible flow over an airfoil. This work uses an interactive viscous-inviscid solution by incorporating the viscous effects in a thin shear-layer. Boundary-layer approximation reduces the Navier-Stokes equations to a parabolic set of coupled, non-linear partial diff...

This paper discusses several aspects related to the consistency and stability of the discrete adjoints of upwind numerical schemes. First and third order upwind discretizations of the one-dimensional advection equation are considered in both the finite difference and finite volume formulations. We show that the discrete adjoints may lose consistency and stability near the points where upwinding...

We prove the convergence of a semi-implicit monotone finite difference scheme approximating an initial-boundary value problem for a spatially one-dimensional quasilinear strongly degenerate parabolic equation, which is supplied with two different inhomogeneous flux-type boundary conditions. This problem arises in the modeling of the sedimentation-consolidation process. We formulate the definiti...

We discuss numerical stabilisation of dynamics governed by nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws through feedback boundary conditions. Using a discrete Lyapunov function we prove exponential decay of the discrete solution to first– order finite volume schemes in conservative form. Decay rates are established for a large class of finite volume schemes including the Lax–Friedrichs scheme. Theore...

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 differe...

We consider the approximation by multidimensional finite volume schemes of the transport of an initial measure by a Lipschitz flow. We first consider a scheme defined via characteristics, and we prove the convergence to the continuous solution, as the time-step and the ratio of the space step to the time-step tend to zero. We then consider a second finite volume scheme, obtained from the first ...
