Achieving a sustainable environment using numerical method for the solution of advection equation in fluid dynamics
The paper compares some explicit numerical methods for solving the advection equation that could be used to describe transportation of a pollutant in one direction. The one-dimensional advection equation is solved by using five different standard finite difference schemes (the Upwind, FTCS, Lax-Fri...

description | The paper compares some explicit numerical methods for solving the advection equation that could be used to describe transportation of a pollutant in one direction. The one-dimensional advection equation is solved by using five different standard finite difference schemes (the Upwind, FTCS, Lax-Friedrichs, Lax wendroff and Leith’s methods) via C codes. An example is used for comparison; the numerical results are compared with analytical solution. It is found that, for the example studied, all the explicit finite difference methods give satisfactory solutions to the advection problem. |
