An Accurate Numerical Solution of a Two Dimensional Heat Transfer Problem with a Parabolic Boundary Layer
نویسنده
چکیده
A singularly perturbed linear convection-diffusion problem for heat transfer in two dimensions with a parabolic boundary layer is solved numerically. The numerical method consists of a special piecewise uniform mesh condensing in a neighbourhood of the parabolic layer and a standard finite difference operator satisfying a discrete maximum principle. The numerical computations demonstrate numerically that the method is ε-uniform in the sense that the rate of convergence and error constant of the method are independent of the singular perturbation parameter ε. This means that no matter how small the singular perturbation parameter ε is, the numerical method produces solutions with guaranteed accuracy depending solely on the number of mesh points used.

Numerical Solution of a Free Boundary Problem from Heat Transfer by the Second Kind Chebyshev Wavelets
In this paper we reduce a free boundary problem from heat transfer to a weakly Singular Volterra integral equation of the first kind. Since the first kind integral equation is ill posed, and an appropriate method for such ill posed problems is based on wavelets, then we apply the Chebyshev wavelets to solve the integral equation. Numerical implementation of the method is illustrated by two ben...
