Dispersive regularizations and numerical discretizations for the inviscid Burgers equation
نویسنده
چکیده
We study centred second-order in time and space discretizations of the inviscid Burgers equation. Although this equation in its continuum formulation supports non-smooth shock wave solutions, the discrete equation generically supports smooth solitary wave solutions. Using backward error analysis we derive the modified equation associated with the numerical scheme. We identify three different equations, the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, the Camassa-Holm (CH) equation and the b = 0 member of the b-family. Solutions of the first two equations are solitary waves and do not converge to the shock solutions of the Burgers equation. The third equation however supports solutions which strongly approximate weak solutions of the Burgers equation. We corroborate our analytical results with numerical simulations.

Viscous and inviscid regularizations in a class of evolutionary partial differential equations
We investigate solution properties of a class of evolutionary partial differential equations (PDEs) with viscous and inviscid regularization. An equation in this class of PDEs can be written as an evolution equation, involving only first-order spatial derivatives, coupled with the Helmholtz equation. A recently developed two-step iterative method (Chiu et al., JCP, 228, (2009), pp. 8034-8052) i...
متن کاملPeriodic Wave Shock solutions of Burgers equations
In this paper we investigate the exact peroidic wave shock solutions of the Burgers equations. Our purpose is to describe the asymptotic behavior of the solution in the cauchy problem for viscid equation with small parametr ε and to discuss in particular the case of periodic wave shock. We show that the solution of this problem approaches the shock type solution for the cauchy problem of the in...
متن کاملOn Nonlocal Monotone Difference Schemes
We provide error analyses for explicit, implicit, and semi-implicit monotone finitedifference schemes on uniform meshes with nonlocal numerical fluxes. We are motivated by finite-difference discretizations of certain long-wave (Sobolev) regularizations of the conservation laws that explicitly add a dispersive term as well as a nonlinear dissipative term. We also develop certain relationships be...
متن کاملAn adaptive finite volume method using thin plate splines for the numerical simulation of the inviscid Burgers’ equation
Thin plate splines are utilized in the construction of a non-oscillatory finite volume method for the inviscid Burgers' equation which is a prototype nonlinear conservation law. To capture the sharp features that occur during numerical simulation, the method is implemented on an adaptive triangulation. An a posteriori error indicator is used to detect regions where the solution varies rapidly.

The coupled viscous Burgers’ equation which was derived by Esipov in 1995 to study the model of poly-dispersive sedimentation. The system of coupled viscous Burgers’ equation is a simple model of sedimentation or evolution of scaled volume concentrations of two kinds of particles in fluid suspensions or colloids under the effect of gravity. Coupled Burgers’ equation can be written in the follow...
