Problem definition

$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}+ u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=\mu \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2}$

Domain

$x \in \left[0,25\right]$

Initial Condition

$u(x,0)=1-tanh(\frac{x-x_c}{2\mu})$

Boundary condition

$u(0,t)=2$

$u_n=2u_{n-1}-u_{n-2}$

Exact solution

$u(x,t)=1-tanh(\frac{x-x_c-t}{2\mu})$

Numerical method

Space

Explicit Scheme (DRP)

${(\frac{\partial u}{\partial x})}_i=\frac{1.0}{dx}\sum_{k=-3}^3 a_k u_{i+k}$

The coefficients can be found in Tam(1993).At the right boundaries use fourth order central difference and fourth backward difference.At left boundaries use second order central difference for i=2 and fourth order central difference for i=3.The Dispersion relation preserving (DRP) finite volume scheme can be found in Popescu (2005).The second order derivative can be calculated from the first order derivative inside the domain.Near the boundaries use a second order central difference.

Implicit Scheme(Compact)

Domain: $\alpha v_{i-1} + v_i + \alpha v_{i+1}=\frac{a}{2h}(u_{i+1}-u_{i-1})$

Boundaries: $v_1+\alpha v_2=\frac{1}{h}(au_1+bu_2+cu_3+du_4)$

where v refers to the first derivative.For a general treatment of compact scheme refer to Lele (1992).In this test case the following values are used

$\mbox{Domain:} \alpha=0.25 , a=\frac{2}{3}(\alpha+2)$

$\mbox{Boundary:} \alpha=2 ,a=-(\frac{11+2\alpha}{6}),b=\frac{6-\alpha}{2},c=\frac{2\alpha-3}{2},d=\frac{2-\alpha}{6}$

Both the schemes are 4th order accurate in the domain.The compact scheme has third order accuracy at the boundary.

Time (4th Order Runga-Kutta)

$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}=f$

$u^{M+1} =u^M + b^{M+1}dtH^M$

$H^M=a^MH^{M-1}+f^M$

,M=1,2..5 .The coefficients a and b can be found in Williamson(1980)
