A FINITE DIFFERENCE FORMULA FOR THE DISCRETIZATION OF d3/dx3 ON NONUNIFORM GRIDS
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze the use of a five-point difference formula for the discretization of the third derivative operator on nonuniform grids. The formula was derived so as to coincide with the standard five-point formula on regular grids and to lead to skew-symmetric schemes. It is shown that, under periodic boundary conditions, the formula is supraconvergent in the sense that, in spite of being inconsistent, it gives rise to schemes with second-order convergence. However, such a supraconvergence only takes place when the number of points in the grid is odd: for grids with an even number of points the inconsistency of the formula results in lack of convergence. Both stationary and evolutionary problems are considered and the analysis is backed by numerical experiments.

The new implicit finite difference scheme for two-sided space-time fractional partial differential equation
Fractional order partial differential equations are generalizations of classical partial differential equations. Increasingly, these models are used in applications such as fluid flow, finance and others. In this paper we examine some practical numerical methods to solve a class of initial- boundary value fractional partial differential equations with variable coefficients on a finite domain. S...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Shu-Osher Conservative Finite Difference Form
Shu and Osher introduced a conservative finite difference discretization for hyperbolic conservation laws using nodal values rather than the traditional cell averages. Their form was obtained by introducing mathematical relations that simplify the resulting numerical methods. Here we instead ‘‘derive’’ their form from the standard cell average approach. In the process, we clarify the origin of ...

We consider discretization of the planar convection of the incompressible fluid in a porous medium filling rectangular enclosure.

We consider three-dimensional convection of an incompressible fluid saturated in a parallelepiped with a porous medium. A mimetic finite-difference scheme for the Darcy convection problem in the primitive variables is developed. It consists of staggered nonuniform grids with five types of nodes, differencing and averaging operators on a two-nodes stencil. The nonlinear terms are approximated us...
متن کاملModeling and migration by a new finite difference scheme based on the Galerkin method for irregular grids
Full wave equation 2D modeling and migration using a new finite difference scheme based on the Galerkin method (FDGM) for irregular grids are presented. Since these involve semi-discretization by the finite element method (FEM) in the depth direction with the linear element, spatially irregular grids can be used to compute the wavefield in modeling and reverse-time migration. The mesh can be ma...
