University of Washington Abstract High Order Strong Stability Preserving Time Integrators and Numerical Wave Propagation Methods for Hyperbolic PDEs David I. Ketcheson Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Randall J. LeVeque Applied Mathematics Hyperbolic PDEs describe the great variety of physical phenomena governed by wave behavior. Numerical methods are necessary to provide approximate solutions to real wave propagation problems. High order accurate methods are often essential to achieve accurate solutions on computationally feasible grids. However, maintaining numerical stability and satisfying physical constraints becomes increasingly difficult as higher order methods are employed. In this thesis, high order numerical tools for hyperbolic PDEs are developed in a method of lines framework. Optimal high order accurate strong sta- bility preserving (SSP) time integrators, for both linear and nonlinear systems, are devel- oped. Improved SSP methods are found as a result of rewriting the relevant optimization problems in a form more amenable to efficient solution. A new, very general class of low-storage Runge-Kutta methods is proposed (based on the form of some optimal SSP methods) and shown to include methods with properties that cannot be achieved by existing classes of low-storage methods. A high order accurate semi-discrete wave propa- gation method is developed in one and two dimensions using wave propagation Riemann solvers and high order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) reconstruction. The space and time discretizations are combined to achieve a high order accurate method for general hyperbolic PDEs. This method is applied to model solitary waves in a nonlinear, non-dispersive periodic heterogeneous medium.

Their use is also known as "numerical integration", although this term is sometimes taken to mean the computation of integrals. Many differential equations cannot be solved using symbolic computation ("analysis"). For practical purposes, however – such as in engineering – a numeric approximation to the solution is often sufficient. The algorithms studied here can be used to compute such an approximation. An alternative method is to use techniques from calculus to obtain a series expansion of the solution. Ordinary differential equations occur in many scientific disciplines, for instance in physics, chemistry, biology, and economics. In addition, some methods in numerical partial differential equations convert the partial differential equation into an ordinary differential equation, which must then be solved. Illustration of numerical integration for the differential equation The problem Blue: the Euler method, green: the midpoint method, red: the exact solution, The A first-order differential equation is an Initial value problem (IVP) of step size is the form, where f is a function that maps [t ,∞) × Rd to Rd, and the initial 0 condition y ∈ Rd is a given vector.

It was originally Professor Klaus- Jiirgen Bathe who suggested that further analysis was needed in this area. We draw attention to numerical instabilities that arise due to insufficient numerical damp- ing from the Crank-Nicolson method (which is based on the Trapezoidal rule) and demonstrate how these problems can be rectified with the TR-BDF2 scheme. Several examples are presented, including an advection-diffusion-reaction (ADR) problem and the (chaotic) damped driven pendulum. We also briefly introduce how the ideas of splitting methods can be coupled with the TR-BDF2 scheme and applied to the ADR equation to take advantage of the excellent modern day explicit techniques to solve hyperbolic equations.

  • A General Linear Method Approach to the Design and Optimization of Efficient, Accurate, and Easily Implemented Time-Stepping Methods in CFD
    A general linear method approach to the design and optimization of efficient, accurate, and easily implemented time-stepping methods in CFD Victor DeCariaa,1,∗, Sigal Gottliebb, Zachary J. Granta,1, William J. Laytonc aOak Ridge National Laboratory, Computational and Applied Mathematics Group bMathematics Department, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth cDepartment of Mathematics, University of Pittsburgh Abstract In simulations of fluid motion time accuracy has proven to be elusive. We seek highly accurate methods with strong enough stability properties to deal with the richness of scales of many flows. These methods must also be easy to implement within current complex, possibly legacy codes. Herein we develop, analyze and test new time stepping methods addressing these two issues with the goal of accelerating the development of time accurate methods addressing the needs of applications. The new methods are created by introducing inexpensive pre-filtering and post-filtering steps to popular methods which have been implemented and tested within existing codes. We show that pre-filtering and post-filtering a multistep or multi-stage method results in new methods which have both multiple steps and stages: these are general linear methods (GLMs).
