High Resolution Schemes Using Flux Limiters for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws

This paper investigates the accurate numerical solution of the equations governing bed-load sediment transport. Two approaches: a steady and an unsteady approach are discussed and five different formulations within these frameworks are derived. A flux-limited version of Roe's scheme is used with the different formulations on a channel test problem and the results compared.

Formulations for Numerically Approximating Hyperbolic Systems Governing Sediment Transport

The global asymptotic nonlinear behavior of 1 1 explicit and implicit time discretizations for four 2 x 2 systems of first-order autonomous nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODES) is analyzed. The objectives are to gain a basic understanding of the difference in the dynamics of numerics between the scalars and systems of nonlinear autonomous ODEs and to set a baseline global asymptotic solution behavior of these schemes for practical computations in computational fluid dynamics. We show how 'numerical' basins of attraction can complement the bifurcation diagrams in gaining more detailed global asymptotic behavior of time discretizations for nonlinear differential equations (DEs). We show how in the presence of spurious asymptotes the basins of the true stable steady states can be segmented by the basins of the spurious stable and unstable asymptotes. One major consequence of this phenomenon which is not commonly known is that this spurious behavior can result in a dramatic distortion and, in most cases, a dramatic shrinkage and segmentation of the basin of attraction of the true solution for finite time steps. Such distortion, shrinkage and segmentation of the numerical basins of attraction will occur regardless of the stability of the spurious asymptotes, and will occur for unconditionally stable implicit linear multistep methods. In other words, for the same (common) steady-state solution the associated basin of attraction of the DE might be very different from the discretized counterparts and the numerical basin of attraction can be very different from numerical method to numerical method. The results can be used as an explanation for possible causes of error, and slow convergence and nonconvergence of steady-state numerical solutions when using the time-dependent approach for nonlinear hyperbolic or parabolic PDES.

The bifurcation diagram associated with the logistic equation υ n+1 =aυ n (1-υ n ) is by now well known, as is its equivalence to solving the ordinary differential equation (ODE) u'= αu(1-u) by the explicit Euler difference scheme. It has also been noted by Iserles that other popular difference schemes may not only exhibit period doubling and chaotic phenomena but also possess spurious fixed points. We investigate, both analytically and computationally, Runge-Kutta schemes applied to the equation u'=f(u), for f(u)=αu(1-u) and f(u)=αu(1-u)(b-u), contrasting their behaviour with the explicit Euler scheme
