A fast numerical method for solving coupled Burgers' equations

Abstract

A new fast numerical scheme is proposed for solving time‐dependent coupled Burgers' equations. The idea of operator splitting is used to decompose the original problem into nonlinear pure convection subproblems and diffusion subproblems at each time step. Using Taylor's expansion, the nonlinearity in convection subproblems is explicitly treated by resolving a linear convection system with artificial inflow boundary conditions that can be independently solved. A multistep technique is proposed to rescue the possible instability caused by the explicit treatment of the convection system. Meanwhile, the diffusion subproblems are always self‐adjoint and coercive at each time step, and they can be efficiently solved by some existing preconditioned iterative solvers like the preconditioned conjugate galerkin method, and so forth. With the help of finite element discretization, all the major stiffness matrices remain invariant during the time marching process, which makes the present approach extremely fast for the time‐dependent nonlinear problems. Finally, several numerical examples are performed to verify the stability, convergence and performance of the new method.© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

New cubic B-spline approximation technique for numerical solutions of coupled viscous Burgers equations

“…Chuathong and Kaennakham (2018) proposed the Hermite collocation scheme for solving CVBEs. Shi et al (2017) studied the approximate solution of a system of CVBEs by decomposing the system, at each time step, into non-linear pure convection and diffusion subsystems using the operator splitting scheme. Ucar et al (2019) studied the numerical solution of modified Burgers' equation by means of differential quadrature method based on modified third-degree basis spline functions.…”
