TL;DR: This work considers fourth order accurate compact schemes, in both space and time, for the second order wave equation with a variable speed of sound, and demonstrates that usually this is much more efficient than lower order schemes despite being implicit and only conditionally stable.
Abstract: We consider fourth order accurate compact schemes, in both space and time, for the second order wave equation with a variable speed of sound. We demonstrate that usually this is much more efficient than lower order schemes despite being implicit and only conditionally stable. Fast time marching of the implicit scheme is accomplished by iterative methods such as conjugate gradient and multigrid. For conjugate gradient, an upper bound on the convergence rate of the iterations is obtained by eigenvalue analysis of the scheme. The implicit discretization technique is such that the spatial and temporal convergence orders can be adjusted independently of each other. In special cases, the spatial error dominates the problem, and then an unconditionally stable second order accurate scheme in time with fourth order accuracy in space is more efficient. Computations confirm the design convergence rate for the inhomogeneous, variable wave speed equation and also confirm the pollution effect for these time dependent problems.

TL;DR: The Huygens' principle is used to obtain the operator equation in a form that involves only finite and non-increasing pre-history of the solution in time, and the resulting boundary equation is solved efficiently by the method of difference potentials (MDP).

TL;DR: This work investigates the Runge–Kutta (RK)/Implicit smoother scheme as a convergence accelerator for complex multi-physics flow problems including turbulent, reactive and also two-phase flows, and focuses on the implication of the Le-Chatelier's principle on the sign of the diagonal entries of the Jacobian.
