چکیده
We show in this paper that thirdand fourth-order low storage Runge-Kutta algorithms can be built specifically for quadratic nonlinear operators, at the expense of roughly doubling the time needed for evaluating the temporal derivatives. The resulting algorithms are especially well suited for computational fluid dynamics. Examples are given for the Hénon-Heiles Hamiltonian system and, in one and two space dimensions, for the Burgers equation using both a pseudo-spectral code and a spectral element code, respectively. The scheme is also shown to be practical in three space solving the incompressible Euler equation using a fully parallelized pseudo-spectral code.

Nonstandard explicit third-order Runge-Kutta method with positivity property
When one solves differential equations, modeling physical phenomena, it is of great importance to take physical constraints into account. More precisely, numerical schemes have to be designed such that discrete solutions satisfy the same constraints as exact solutions. Based on general theory for positivity, with an explicit third-order Runge-Kutta method (we will refer to it as RK3 method) pos...
متن کامل2-stage explicit total variation diminishing preserving Runge-Kutta methods
In this paper, we investigate the total variation diminishing property for a class of 2-stage explicit Rung-Kutta methods of order two (RK2) when applied to the numerical solution of special nonlinear initial value problems (IVPs) for (ODEs). Schemes preserving the essential physical property of diminishing total variation are of great importance in practice. Such schemes are free of spurious o...
متن کاملOptimized explicit Runge-Kutta schemes for the spectral difference method applied to wave propagation problems
Explicit Runge–Kutta schemes with large stable step sizes are developed for integration of high order spectral difference spatial discretizations on quadrilateral grids. The new schemes permit an effective time step that is substantially larger than the maximum admissible time step of standard explicit Runge–Kutta schemes available in literature. Furthermore, they have a small principal error n...

The derivation of low-storage, explicit Runge-Kutta (ERK) schemes has been performed in the context of integrating the compressible Navier-Stokes equations via direct numerical simulation. Optimization of ERK methods is done across the broad range of properties, such as stability and accuracy e ciency, linear and nonlinear stability, error control reliability, step change stability, and dissipa...
متن کاملLow-storage implicit/explicit Runge-Kutta schemes for the simulation of stiff high-dimensional ODE systems
Implicit/explicit (IMEX) Runge-Kutta (RK) schemes are effective for time-marching ODE systems with both stiff and nonstiff terms on the RHS; such schemes implement an (often A-stable or better) implicit RK scheme for the stiff part of the ODE, which is often linear, and, simultaneously, a (more convenient) explicit RK scheme for the nonstiff part of the ODE, which is often nonlinear. Low-storag...
