Chebyshev finite difference method for solving a mathematical model arising in wastewater treatment plants
Authors
Abstract:
The Chebyshev finite difference method is applied to solve a system of two coupled nonlinear Lane-Emden differential equations arising in mathematical modelling of the excess sludge production from wastewater treatment plants. This method is based on a combination of the useful properties of Chebyshev polynomials approximation and finite difference method. The approach consists of reducing the problem to a set of algebraic equations. Numerical results are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique and a comparison is made with the existing results.

Finite difference method for solving partial integro-differential equations
In this paper, we have introduced a new method for solving a class of the partial integro-differential equation with the singular kernel by using the finite difference method. First, we employing an algorithm for solving the problem based on the Crank-Nicholson scheme with given conditions. Furthermore, we discrete the singular integral for solving of the problem. Also, the numerical results ob...

In this paper, a time fractional diffusion equation on a finite domain is con- sidered. The time fractional diffusion equation is obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the first order time derivative by a fractional derivative of order 0 < a< 1 (in the Riemann-Liovill or Caputo sence). In equation that we consider the time fractional derivative is in...

In this paper, a Chebyshev finite difference method has been proposed in order to solve nonlinear two-point boundary value problems for second order nonlinear differential equations. A problem arising from chemical reactor theory is then considered. The approach consists of reducing the problem to a set of algebraic equations. This method can be regarded as a non-uniform finite difference schem...

We study a projection and upwind finite difference scheme for a combustion model problem. Convergence to weak solutions is proved under the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy condition. More assumptions are given on the ignition temperature; then convergence to strong detonation wave solutions or to weak detonation wave solutions is proved.
full textA Mathematical Model for Predicting Isothermal Soil Moisture Profiles Using Finite Difference Method
Subgrade moisture content varies with environmental and soil conditions and has significant influence on pavement performance. Therefore, it is important to establish realistic estimates of expected subgrade moisture contents to account for the effects of this variable on predicted pavement performance during the design stage properly. The initial boundary soil suction profile for a given pavem...
