Comparison of High-Accuracy Finite-Difference Methods for Linear Wave Propagation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper analyzes a number of high-order and optimized finite-difference methods for numerically simulating the propagation and scattering of linear waves, such as electromagnetic, acoustic, and elastic waves. The spatial operators analyzed include compact schemes, noncompact schemes, schemes on staggered grids, and schemes which are optimized to produce specific characteristics. The time-marching methods include Runge–Kutta methods, Adams–Bashforth methods, and the leapfrog method. In addition, the following fully-discrete finite-difference methods are studied: a one-step implicit scheme with a three-point spatial stencil, a one-step explicit scheme with a five-point spatial stencil, and a two-step explicit scheme with a five-point spatial stencil. For each method, the number of grid points per wavelength required for accurate simulation of wave propagation over large distances is presented. The results provide a clear understanding of the relative merits of the methods compared, especially the trade-offs associated with the use of optimized methods. A numerical example is given which shows that the benefits of an optimized scheme can be small if the waveform has broad spectral content.
