چکیده
We present a two level nite diierence scheme for the approximation of nonlinear parabolic equations. Discrete inner products and the lowest order Raviart-Thomas approximating space are used in the expanded mixed method in order to develop the nite diierence scheme. Analysis of the scheme is given assuming an implicit time discretization. In this two level scheme, the full nonlinear problem is solved on a \coarse" grid of size H: The nonlinearities are expanded about the coarse grid solution and an appropriate interpolation operator is used to provide values of the coarse grid solution on the ne grid in terms of superconvergent node points. The resulting linear but nonsymmetric system is solved on a \\ne" grid of size h: Some a priori error estimates are derived which show that the discrete L 1 (L 2) and L 2 (H 1) errors are O(h 2 + H 4?d=2 + t), where d 1 is the spatial dimension.

This paper presents a simple and computationally-efficient algorithm for solving steady two-dimensional subsonic and transonic compressible flow over an airfoil.

متن کاملSolving a system of 2D Burgers' equations using Semi-Lagrangian finite difference schemes
In this paper, we aim to generalize semi-Lagrangian finite difference schemes for a system of two-dimensional (2D) Burgers' equations. Our scheme is not limited by the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) condition and therefore we can apply larger step size for the time variable. Proposed schemes can be implemented in parallel very well and in fact, it is a local one-dimensional (LOD) scheme which o...

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) occurs when the dynamic water hammer forces; cause vibrations in the pipe wall. FSI in pipe systems due to Poisson and junction coupling has been the center of attention in recent years. It causes fluctuations in pressure heads and vibrations in the pipe wall. The governing equations of this phenomenon include a system of first order hyperbolic partial differen...
