naginterfaces.library.pde.dim1_parab_fd(m, ts, tout, pdedef, bndary, u, x, acc, comm, itask, itrace, ind, data=None, io_manager=None, spiked_sorder='C')[source]

dim1_parab_fd integrates a system of linear or nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) in one space variable. The spatial discretization is performed using finite differences, and the method of lines is employed to reduce the PDEs to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The resulting system is solved using a backward differentiation formula method.

Notes

dim1_parab_fd integrates the system of parabolic equations:

where , and depend on , , , and the vector is the set of solution values

and the vector is its partial derivative with respect to . Note that , and must not depend on .

The integration in time is from to , over the space interval , where and are the leftmost and rightmost points of a user-defined mesh . The coordinate system in space is defined by the value of ; for Cartesian coordinates, for cylindrical polar coordinates and for spherical polar coordinates. The mesh should be chosen in accordance with the expected behaviour of the solution.

The system is defined by the functions , and which must be specified in .

The initial values of the functions must be given at . The functions , for , which may be thought of as fluxes, are also used in the definition of the boundary conditions for each equation. The boundary conditions must have the form

where or .

The boundary conditions must be specified in .

The problem is subject to the following restrictions:

1. , so that integration is in the forward direction;

2. , and the flux must not depend on any time derivatives;

3. the evaluation of the functions , and is done at the mid-points of the mesh intervals by calling the for each mid-point in turn. Any discontinuities in these functions must, therefore, be at one or more of the mesh points ;

4. at least one of the functions must be nonzero so that there is a time derivative present in the problem; and

5. if and , which is the left boundary point, then it must be ensured that the PDE solution is bounded at this point. This can be done by either specifying the solution at or by specifying a zero flux there, that is and . See also Further Comments.

The parabolic equations are approximated by a system of ODEs in time for the values of at mesh points. For simple problems in Cartesian coordinates, this system is obtained by replacing the space derivatives by the usual central, three-point finite difference formula. However, for polar and spherical problems, or problems with nonlinear coefficients, the space derivatives are replaced by a modified three-point formula which maintains second-order accuracy. In total there are ODEs in the time direction. This system is then integrated forwards in time using a backward differentiation formula method.
