Asymptotic Solutions of Numerical Transport Problems in Optically Thick, Diffusive Regimes II

چکیده
In a recent article (Larsen, Morel, and Miller, J .Comput. Phys. 69, 283 (1987)), a theoretical method is described for assessing the accuracy of transport differencing schemes in highly scattering media with optically thick spatial meshes. In the present article, this method is extended to enable one to determine the accuracy of such schemes in the presence of numerically unresolved boundary layers. Numerical results are presented that demonstrate the validity and accuracy of our analysis.

Nonlinear Weighted Flux Methods for Particle Transport Problems in 2d Cartesian Geometry
The family of nonlinear weighted flux methods for solving the transport equation is derived for 2D Cartesian geometry. A linear polynomial weight is considered. An asymptotic diffusion limit analysis is performed on the discretized method. The analysis reveals conditions on the weight necessary for an accurate approximation of the diffusion equation. As a result, we developed a new weighted flu...
متن کاملAsymptotic Preserving and Multiscale Methods for Kinetic and Hyperbolic Problems
Abstract. This presentation concerns the numerical approximation of a PDE system which models cell movements according to a chemoattractant concentration. The system under consideration turns out to couple a hyperbolic system with a diffusive equation. The solutions of such a model satisfy several properties to be preserved at the numerical level. Indeed, the solutions may contain vacuum, satis...
متن کاملA hybrid transport-diffusion method for Monte Carlo radiative-transfer simulations
Discrete Diffusion Monte Carlo (DDMC) is a hybrid transport-diffusion method for Monte Carlo simulations in diffusive media. In DDMC, particles take discrete steps between spatial cells according to a discretized diffusion equation. Thus, DDMC produces accurate solutions while increasing the efficiency of the Monte Carlo calculation. In this paper, we extend previously developed DDMC techniques...

متن کاملOn the asymptotic preserving property of the unified gas kinetic scheme for the diffusion limit of linear kinetic models
The unified gas kinetic scheme (UGKS) of K. Xu et al. [37], originally developed for multiscale gas dynamics problems, is applied in this paper to a linear kinetic model of radiative transfer theory. While such problems exhibit purely diffusive behavior in the optically thick (or small Knudsen) regime, we prove that UGKS is still asymptotic preserving (AP) in this regime, but for the free trans...
