Stable and Accurate Interpolation Operators for High-Order Multi-Block Finite-Difference Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Block-to-block interface interpolation operators are constructed for several common high-order finite difference discretizations. In contrast to conventional interpolation operators, these new interpolation operators maintain the strict stability, accuracy and conservation of the base scheme even when nonconforming grids or dissimilar operators are used in adjoining blocks. The stability properties of the new operators are verified using eigenvalue analysis, and the accuracy properties are verified using numerical simulations of the Euler equations in two spatial dimensions.

Review of summation-by-parts schemes for initial-boundary-value problems
High-order finite difference methods are efficient, easy to program, scale well in multiple dimensions and can be modified locally for various reasons (such as shock treatment for example). The main drawback has been the complicated and sometimes even mysterious stability treatment at boundaries and interfaces required for a stable scheme. The research on summation-byparts operators and weak bo...
متن کاملHigh order finite difference methods for wave propagation in discontinuous media
Strictly stable high order finite difference approximations are derived for the second order wave equation with discontinuous coefficients. The discontinuity is treated by splitting the domain at the discontinuities in a multi block fashion. Each sub domain is discretized with compact second derivative summation by parts (SBP) operators and the blocks are patched together to a global domain by ...

A stable and conservative high order multi-block method for the time-dependent compressible Navier-Stokes equations has been developed. Stability and conservation are proved using summation-by-parts operators, weak interface conditions and the energy method. This development makes it possible to exploit the efficiency of the high order finite difference method for non-trivial geometries. The co...

We develop a stable and high-order accurate finite difference method for problems in earthquake rupture dynamics in complex geometries with multiple faults. The bulk material is an isotropic elastic solid cut by pre-existing fault interfaces that accommodate relative motion of the material on the two sides. The fields across the interfaces are related through friction laws which depend on the s...
متن کاملAccurate and Stable Grid Interfaces for Finite Volume Methods
A convection-diffusion equation is discretized by a finite volume method in two space dimensions. The grid is partitioned into blocks with jumps in the grid size at the block interfaces. Interpolation in the cells adjacent to the interfaces is necessary to be able to apply the difference stencils. Second order accuracy is achieved and the stability of the discretizations is investigated. The in...
