Abstract:

In this paper a finite difference method for solving 2-dimensional diffusion equation is presented. The method employs Crank-Nicolson scheme to improve finite difference formulation and its convergence and stability. The obtained solution will be a recursive formula in each step of which a system of linear equations should be solved. Given the specific form of obtained matrices, rather than solving the problem in each step using conventional iterative methods, a closed-form solution is formulated..

Crank-nicolson Finite Difference Method for Solving Time-fractional Diffusion Equation

In this paper, we develop the Crank-Nicolson finite difference method (C-N-FDM) to solve the linear time-fractional diffusion equation, formulated with Caputo’s fractional derivative. Special attention is given to study the stability of the proposed method which is introduced by means of a recently proposed procedure akin to the standard Von-Neumann stable analysis. Some numerical examples are ...

An ADI Crank-Nicolson Orthogonal Spline Collocation Method for the Two-Dimensional Fractional Diffusion-Wave Equation

A new method is formulated and analyzed for the approximate solution of a twodimensional time-fractional diffusion-wave equation. In this method, orthogonal spline collocation is used for the spatial discretization and, for the time-stepping, a novel alternating direction implicit (ADI) method based on the Crank-Nicolson method combined with the L1-approximation of the time Caputo derivative of...

Comparison of The LBM With the Modified Local Crank-Nicolson Method Solution of Transient Two-Dimensional Non-Linear Burgers Equation

Burgers equation is a simplified form of the Navier-Stokes equation that represents the non-linear features of it. In this paper, the transient two-dimensional non-linear Burgers equation is solved using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). The results are compared with the Modified Local Crank-Nicolson method (MLCN) and exact solutions. The LBM has been emerged as a new numerical method for sol...
