dim2_gen_order2_rectangle integrates a system of linear or nonlinear, time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs) in two space dimensions on a rectangular domain. The method of lines is employed to reduce the PDEs to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) which are solved using a backward differentiation formula (BDF) method. The resulting system of nonlinear equations is solved using a modified Newton method and a BI-CGSTAB iterative linear solver with ILU preconditioning. Local uniform grid refinement is used to improve the accuracy of the solution. dim2_gen_order2_rectangle originates from the VLUGR2 package (see Blom and Verwer (1993) and Blom et al. (1996)).

dim2_gen_order2_rectangle integrates the system of PDEs:

for and in the rectangular domain , , and time interval , where the vector is the set of solution values

and denotes partial differentiation with respect to , and similarly for etc.

The functions must be supplied by you in . Similarly the initial values of the functions must be specified at in .

Note that whilst complete generality is offered by the master equations (1), dim2_gen_order2_rectangle is not appropriate for all PDEs. In particular, hyperbolic systems should not be solved using this function. Also, at least one component of must appear in the system of PDEs.

The boundary conditions must be supplied by you in in the form

for all when or and for all when or and

The domain is covered by a uniform coarse base grid of size specified by you, and nested finer uniform subgrids are subsequently created in regions with high spatial activity. The refinement is controlled using a space monitor which is computed from the current solution and a user-supplied space tolerance . A number of options, e.g., the maximum number of grid levels at any time, and some weighting factors, can be specified in the arrays and . Further details of the refinement strategy can be found in Further Comments.

The system of PDEs and the boundary conditions are discretized in space on each grid using a standard second-order finite difference scheme (centred on the internal domain and one-sided at the boundaries), and the resulting system of ODEs is integrated in time using a second-order, two-step, implicit BDF method with variable step size. The time integration is controlled using a time monitor computed at each grid level from the current solution and a user-supplied time tolerance , and some further optional user-specified weighting factors held in (see Further Comments for details). The time monitor is used to compute a new step size, subject to restrictions on the size of the change between steps, and (optional) user-specified maximum and minimum step sizes held in . The step size is adjusted so that the remaining integration interval is an integer number times . In this way a solution is obtained at .

A modified Newton method is used to solve the nonlinear equations arising from the time integration. You may specify (in ) the maximum number of Newton iterations to be attempted. A Jacobian matrix is calculated at the beginning of each time step. If the Newton process diverges or the maximum number of iterations is exceeded, a new Jacobian is calculated using the most recent iterates and the Newton process is restarted. If convergence is not achieved after the (optional) user-specified maximum number of new Jacobian evaluations, the time step is retried with . The linear systems arising from the Newton iteration are solved using a BI-CGSTAB iterative method, in combination with ILU preconditioning. The maximum number of iterations can be specified by you in .

The solution at all grid levels is stored in the workspace arrays, along with other information needed for a restart (i.e., a continuation call). It is not intended that you extract the solution from these arrays, indeed the necessary information regarding these arrays is not included. The user-supplied monitor should be used to obtain the solution at particular levels and times. is called at the end of every time step, with the last step being identified via the input argument .

Within , , and the data structure is as follows. Each point on a particular grid is given an index (ranging from to the total number of points on the grid) and all coordinate or solution information is stored in arrays according to this index, e.g., and contain the - and coordinate of point , and contains the th solution component at point .
