nag_pde_parab_1d_cd_ode_remesh (d03psc)

Purpose
nag_pde_parab_1d_cd_ode_remesh (d03psc) integrates a system of linear or nonlinear convection-diffusion equations in one space dimension, with optional source terms and scope for coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The system must be posed in conservative form. This function also includes the option of automatic adaptive spatial remeshing. Convection terms are discretized using a sophisticated upwind scheme involving a user-supplied numerical flux function based on the solution of a Riemann problem at each mesh point. The method of lines is employed to reduce the partial differential equations (PDEs) to a system of ODEs, and the resulting system is solved using a backward differentiation formula (BDF) method or a Theta method.

Description
nag_pde_parab_1d_cd_ode_remesh (d03psc) integrates the system of convection-diffusion equations in conservative form:
or the hyperbolic convection-only system:
for
,
,
, where the vector
is the set of PDE solution values
The optional coupled ODEs are of the general form
where the vector
is the set of ODE solution values
denotes its derivative with respect to time, and
is the spatial derivative of
.
In

and
linearly on

,
,
and
must not depend on any space derivatives, and
,
,
and
must not depend on any time derivatives. In terms of conservation laws,
,
and
are the convective flux, diffusion and source terms respectively.
In
(3),

spatial coupling points at which the ODEs are coupled to the PDEs. These points may or may not be equal to PDE spatial mesh points.
,
and
are the functions
,
and
evaluated at these coupling points. Each
may depend only linearly on time derivatives. Hence
(3) may be written more precisely as
where
,
is a vector of length
nv,

nv by
nv matrix,
is an
nv by
matrix and the entries in
,
and
may depend on
,
,
,
and
. In practice you only need to supply a vector of information to define the ODEs and not the matrices
,
and
. (See
Section 5 for the specification of
odedef.)
The integration in time is from to , over the space interval , where and are the leftmost and rightmost points of a user-defined mesh defined initially by you and (possibly) adapted automatically during the integration according to user-specified criteria.
The initial
values of the functions
and
must be specified in
uvinit. Note that
uvinit will be called again following any initial remeshing, and so
should be specified for
all values of
in the interval
, and not just the initial mesh points.
The PDEs are approximated by a system of ODEs in time for the values of
at mesh points using a spatial discretization method similar to the central-difference scheme used in
nag_pde_parab_1d_fd (d03pcc),
nag_pde_parab_1d_fd_ode (d03phc) and
nag_pde_parab_1d_fd_ode_remesh (d03ppc), but with the flux
replaced by a
numerical flux, which is a representation of the flux taking into account the direction of the flow of information at that point (i.e., the direction of the characteristics). Simple central differencing of the numerical flux then becomes a sophisticated upwind scheme in which the correct direction of upwinding is automatically achieved.
The numerical flux,
say, must be calculated by you in terms of the
left and
right values of the solution vector
(denoted by
and
respectively), at each mid-point of the mesh
, for
. The left and right values are calculated by
nag_pde_parab_1d_cd_ode_remesh (d03psc) from two adjacent mesh points using a standard upwind technique combined with a Van Leer slope-limiter (see
LeVeque (1990)). The physically correct value for
is derived from the solution of the Riemann problem given by
where
, i.e.,
corresponds to
, with discontinuous initial values
for
and
for
, using an
approximate Riemann solver. This applies for either of the systems
(1) or
(2); the numerical flux is independent of the functions
,
,
and
. A description of several approximate Riemann solvers can be found in
LeVeque (1990) and
Berzins et al. (1989). Roe's scheme (see
Roe (1981)) is perhaps the easiest to understand and use, and a brief summary follows. Consider the system of PDEs
or equivalently
. Provided the system is linear in
, i.e., the Jacobian matrix
does not depend on
, the numerical flux
is given by
where
(
) is the flux
calculated at the left (right) value of
, denoted by
(
); the
are the eigenvalues of
; the
are the right eigenvectors of
; and the
are defined by
Examples are given in the documents for
nag_pde_parab_1d_cd (d03pfc) and
nag_pde_parab_1d_cd_ode (d03plc).
If the system is nonlinear, Roe's scheme requires that a linearized Jacobian is found (see
Roe (1981)).
The functions
,
,
and
(but
not
) must be specified in
pdedef. The numerical flux
must be supplied in
numflx. For problems in the form
(2),
NULL
may be used for
pdedef.
In this case, a default function
sets the matrix with entries
to the identity matrix, and the functions
,
and
to zero.
For second-order problems, i.e., diffusion terms are present, a boundary condition is required for each PDE at both boundaries for the problem to be well-posed. If there are no diffusion terms present, then the continuous PDE problem generally requires exactly one boundary condition for each PDE, that is
npde boundary conditions in total. However, in common with most discretization schemes for first-order problems, a
numerical boundary condition is required at the other boundary for each PDE. In order to be consistent with the characteristic directions of the PDE system, the numerical boundary conditions must be derived from the solution inside the domain in some manner (see below). You must supply both types of boundary conditions, i.e., a total of
npde conditions at each boundary point.
The position of each boundary condition should be chosen with care. In simple terms, if information is flowing into the domain then a physical boundary condition is required at that boundary, and a numerical boundary condition is required at the other boundary. In many cases the boundary conditions are simple, e.g., for the linear advection equation. In general you should calculate the characteristics of the PDE system and specify a physical boundary condition for each of the characteristic variables associated with incoming characteristics, and a numerical boundary condition for each outgoing characteristic.
A common way of providing numerical boundary conditions is to extrapolate the characteristic variables from the inside of the domain (note that when using banded matrix algebra the fixed bandwidth means that only linear extrapolation is allowed, i.e., using information at just two interior points adjacent to the boundary). For problems in which the solution is known to be uniform (in space) towards a boundary during the period of integration then extrapolation is unnecessary; the numerical boundary condition can be supplied as the known solution at the boundary. Another method of supplying numerical boundary conditions involves the solution of the characteristic equations associated with the outgoing characteristics. Examples of both methods can be found in the documents for
nag_pde_parab_1d_cd (d03pfc) and
nag_pde_parab_1d_cd_ode (d03plc).
The boundary conditions must be specified in
bndary in the form
at the left-hand boundary, and
at the right-hand boundary.
Note that spatial derivatives at the boundary are not passed explicitly to
bndary, but they can be calculated using values of
at and adjacent to the boundaries if required. However, it should be noted that instabilities may occur if such one-sided differencing opposes the characteristic direction at the boundary.
The algebraic-differential equation system which is defined by the functions
must be specified in
odedef. You must also specify the coupling points
(if any) in the array
xi.
In total there are
ODEs in the time direction. This system is then integrated forwards in time using a BDF or Theta method, optionally switching between Newton's method and functional iteration (see
Berzins et al. (1989) and the references therein).
The adaptive space remeshing can be used to generate meshes that automatically follow the changing time-dependent nature of the solution, generally resulting in a more efficient and accurate solution using fewer mesh points than may be necessary with a fixed uniform or non-uniform mesh. Problems with travelling wavefronts or variable-width boundary layers for example will benefit from using a moving adaptive mesh. The discrete time-step method used here (developed by
Furzeland (1984)) automatically creates a new mesh based on the current solution profile at certain time-steps, and the solution is then interpolated onto the new mesh and the integration continues.
The method requires you to supply a
monitf which specifies in an analytical or numerical form the particular aspect of the solution behaviour you wish to track. This so-called monitor function is used by the function to choose a mesh which equally distributes the integral of the monitor function over the domain. A typical choice of monitor function is the second space derivative of the solution value at each point (or some combination of the second space derivatives if there is more than one solution component), which results in refinement in regions where the solution gradient is changing most rapidly.
You must specify the frequency of mesh updates together with certain other criteria such as adjacent mesh ratios. Remeshing can be expensive and you are encouraged to experiment with the different options in order to achieve an efficient solution which adequately tracks the desired features of the solution.
Note that unless the monitor function for the initial solution values is zero at all user-specified initial mesh points, a new initial mesh is calculated and adopted according to the user-specified remeshing criteria.
uvinit will then be called again to determine the initial solution values at the new mesh points (there is no interpolation at this stage) and the integration proceeds.
The problem is subject to the following restrictions:
(i) |
In (1), , for , may only appear linearly in the functions
, for , with a similar restriction for and ; |
(ii) |
, , and must not depend on any space derivatives; and , , and must not depend on any time derivatives; |
(iii) |
, so that integration is in the forward direction; |
(iv) |
The evaluation of the terms , , and is done by calling the pdedef at a point approximately midway between each pair of mesh points in turn. Any discontinuities in these functions must therefore be at one or more of the fixed mesh points specified by xfix; |
(v) |
At least one of the functions must be nonzero so that there is a time derivative present in the PDE problem. |

Pennington and Berzins (1994) and the references therein.

Accuracy
nag_pde_parab_1d_cd_ode_remesh (d03psc) controls the accuracy of the integration in the time direction but not the accuracy of the approximation in space. The spatial accuracy depends on both the number of mesh points and on their distribution in space. In the time integration only the local error over a single step is controlled and so the accuracy over a number of steps cannot be guaranteed. You should therefore test the effect of varying the accuracy arguments,
atol and
rtol.

Parallelism and Performance
nag_pde_parab_1d_cd_ode_remesh (d03psc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
nag_pde_parab_1d_cd_ode_remesh (d03psc) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the
x06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this function. Please also consult the
Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
nag_pde_parab_1d_cd_ode_remesh (d03psc) is designed to solve systems of PDEs in conservative form, with optional source terms which are independent of space derivatives, and optional second-order diffusion terms. The use of the function to solve systems which are not naturally in this form is discouraged, and you are advised to use one of the central-difference scheme functions for such problems.
You should be aware of the stability limitations for hyperbolic PDEs. For most problems with small error tolerances the ODE integrator does not attempt unstable time steps, but in some cases a maximum time step should be imposed using . It is worth experimenting with this argument, particularly if the integration appears to progress unrealistically fast (with large time steps). Setting the maximum time step to the minimum mesh size is a safe measure, although in some cases this may be too restrictive.
Problems with source terms should be treated with caution, as it is known that for large source terms stable and reasonable looking solutions can be obtained which are in fact incorrect, exhibiting non-physical speeds of propagation of discontinuities (typically one spatial mesh point per time step). It is essential to employ a very fine mesh for problems with source terms and discontinuities, and to check for non-physical propagation speeds by comparing results for different mesh sizes. Further details and an example can be found in
Pennington and Berzins (1994).
The time taken depends on the complexity of the system, the accuracy requested, and the frequency of the mesh updates. For a given system with fixed accuracy and mesh-update frequency it is approximately proportional to
neqn.

Example
For this function two examples are presented, with a main program and two example problems given in Example 1 (ex1) and Example 2 (ex2).
Example 1 (ex1)
This example is a simple model of the advection and diffusion of a cloud of material:
for
and
. In this example the constant wind speed
and the diffusion coefficient
.
The cloud does not reach the boundaries during the time of integration, and so the two (physical) boundary conditions are simply
, and the initial condition is
and
elsewhere, where
and
.
The numerical flux is simply .
The monitor function for remeshing is taken to be the absolute value of the second derivative of .
Example 2 (ex2)
This example is a linear advection equation with a nonlinear source term and discontinuous initial profile:
for
and
. The discontinuity is modelled by a ramp function of width
and gradient
, so that the exact solution at any time
is
where
. The initial profile is given by the exact solution. The characteristic points into the domain at
and out of the domain at
, and so a physical boundary condition
is imposed at
, with a numerical boundary condition at
which can be specified as
since the discontinuity does not reach
during the time of integration.
The numerical flux is simply at all times.
The remeshing monitor function (described below) is chosen to create an increasingly fine mesh towards the discontinuity in order to ensure good resolution of the discontinuity, but without loss of efficiency in the surrounding regions. However, refinement must be limited so that the time step required for stability does not become unrealistically small. The region of refinement must also keep up with the discontinuity as it moves across the domain, and hence it cannot be so small that the discontinuity moves out of the refined region between remeshing.
The above requirements mean that the use of the first or second spatial derivative of for the monitor function is inappropriate; the large relative size of either derivative in the region of the discontinuity leads to extremely small mesh-spacing in a very limited region, and the solution is then far more expensive than for a very fine fixed mesh.
An alternative monitor function based on a cosine function proves very successful. It is only semi-automatic as it requires some knowledge of the solution (for problems without an exact solution an initial approximate solution can be obtained using a coarse fixed mesh). On each call to
monitf the discontinuity is located by finding the maximum spatial derivative of the solution. On the first call the desired width of the region of nonzero monitor function is set (this can be changed at a later time if desired). Then on each call the monitor function is assigned using a cosine function so that it has a value of one at the discontinuity down to zero at the edges of the predetermined region of refinement, and zero outside the region. Thus the monitor function and the subsequent refinement are limited, and the region is large enough to ensure that there is always sufficient refinement at the discontinuity.
