Difference Methods

In this paper, we discuss the interface problems arising in using finite difference methods to solve hyperbolic equations with discontinuous coefficients. The schemes developed here can be used to handle four important types of numerical interfaces due to: (1) the discontinuity of the coefficients of the PDE, (2) using artificial boundary, (3) using different finite difference formulae in different areas, and (4) using different grid sizes in different areas. Stability analysis for these schemes is carried out in terms of conventional l1, l2, and l∞ norms so that the convergence rates of these schemes are obtained. Several numerical examples are supplied to demonstrate properties of these schemes.

Abstract In this study, a numerical solution of the modified Burgers’ equation is obtained by the finite difference methods. For the solution process, two linearization techniques have been applied to get over the non-linear term existing in the equation. Then, some comparisons have been made between the obtained results and those available in the literature. Furthermore, the error norms L2 and L∞ are computed and found to be sufficiently small and compatible with others in the literature. The stability analysis of the linearized finite difference equations obtained by two different linearization techniques has been separately conducted via Fourier stability analysis method.
