A linear dispersive mechanism for numerical error growth: spurious caustics
نویسندگان
چکیده
A linear dispersive mechanism for error focusing in polychromatic solutions is identified. This local error pile-up corresponds to the existence of spurious caustics, which are allowed by the dispersive nature of the numerical error. ¿From the mathematical point of view, spurious caustics are related to extrema of the numerical group velocity. Several popular schemes are analyzed and are shown to admit spurious caustics. It isalso observed that caustic-free schemes can be defined, like the Crank-Nicolson scheme.

متن کاملCautionary Tales of Persistent Accumulation of Numerical Error: Dispersive Centered Advection
In ocean modelling there is widespread appreciation for the severity of any error which involves spurious diapycnal mixing. Indeed, the extreme disparity between the timescales which characterize mixing in the isopycnal and diapycnal directions is a defining feature of oceanic fluid dynamics. Particular concern is therefore raised by any source of spurious diapycnal mixing which is persistent, ...

For solving the dynamic equilibrium equation of structures, several second-order numerical methods have so far been proposed. In these algorithms, conditional stability, period elongation, amplitude error, appearance of spurious frequencies and dependency of the algorithms to the time steps are the crucial problems. Among the numerical methods, Newmark average acceleration algorithm, regardl...

Many compressible ow and aeroacoustic computations rely on accurate nonre ecting or radiation boundary conditions. When the equations and boundary conditions are discretized using a nite-di erence scheme, the dispersive nature of the discretized equations can lead to spurious numerical re ections not seen in the continuous boundary value problem. Here we construct discretely nonre ecting bounda...
