The first and second order of accuracy stable difference schemes for the numerical solution of the mixed problem for the fractional parabolic equation are presented. Stability and almost coercive stability estimates for the solution of these difference schemes are obtained. A procedure of modified Gauss elimination method is used for solving these difference schemes in the case of one-dimension...

In this note we consider the application of the WENO scheme to simulations of steady-state flow in a converging diverging nozzle. We demonstrate the recovery of design accuracy through Gegenbauer postprocessing, despite the degradation of the order of accuracy for the numerical solution of the Euler equations to first-order in regions where the characteristics passed through the shock. We have ...

Biodiesel is a promising non-toxic and biodegradable alternative fuel in transport sector. Of all the biodiesel properties, specific gravity and viscosity are the most significant for the effects they have on the utilization of biodiesel fuels in unmodified engines. This paper presents models, which have been derived from experimental data, for predicting the specific gravity and dynamic viscos...

The Cauchy problem for a semilinear parabolic equation is considered. Under the conditions u(x, t) = X(x)T1(t) + T2(t), ∂u ∂x = 0, it is shown that the problem is equivalent to the system of two ordinary differential equations for which exact difference scheme (EDS) with special Steklov averaging and difference schemes with arbitrary order of accuracy (ADS) are constructed on the moving mesh. T...

In this paper, a speed-up strategy for finite volume WENO schemes is developed for solving hyperbolic conservation laws. It adopts p-adaptive like reconstruction, which automatically adjusts from fifth order WENO reconstruction to first order constant reconstruction when nearly constant solutions are detected by the undivided differences. The corresponding order of accuracy for the solutions is...

In this paper we deal with a model of coupled non-stationary electroelasticity with displacements and potential given on the boundary of a body. We construct a numerical scheme for modeling electromechanical interactions in the body, and present a spectrum of a priori estimates for the solution of this scheme. Such estimates allow us to prove the convergence of the scheme to a generalized solut...

We show that there are simple one dimensional problems for which the MHD code, ZEUS, generates significant errors, whereas upwind conservative schemes perform very well on these problems.

A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) is a commonly used tool to assess the quality of systematic reviews; however, modifications are needed to improve its usability, reliability, and validity. In this commentary, we summarize our experience and the experiences of others who have used AMSTAR and provide suggestions for its improvement. We propose that AMSTAR should modify a n...

In this paper we consider a class of difference approximations to the Dirichlet problem for second-order elliptic operators with smooth coefficients. The main result is that if the order of accuracy of the approximate problem is v, and F (the right-hand side) and/ (the boundary values) both belong to Cx for X < v, then the rate of convergence is 0(hx).
