A Semi-Explicit Compact Fourth-Order Finite-Difference Scheme for the General Acoustic Wave Equation

We construct a new compact semi-explicit three-level in time fourth-order finite-difference scheme for numerical solving the general multidimensional acoustic wave equation, where both the speed of sound and density of a medium are variable. The scheme is three-point in each spatial direction, has the truncation order $\mathcal{O}(|h|^4+h_t^4)$ and is easily implementable. It seems to be the first compact scheme with such properties for the equation under consideration. It generalizes a semi-explicit compact scheme developed and studied recently in the much simpler case of the variable speed of sound only. Numerical experiments confirm the high precision of the scheme and its fourth error order not only in the mesh $C$ norm but in the mesh $C^1$ norm as well.

On a Doubly Reduced Model for Dynamics of Heterogeneous Mixtures of Stiffened Gases, its Regularizations and their Implementations

We deal with the reduced four-equation model for the dynamics of heterogeneous compressible binary mixtures with the stiffened gas equations of state. We study its further reduced form, with the excluded volume concentrations, and with a quadratic equation for the common pressure of the components; this form can be called a quasi-homogeneous form. We prove new properties of the equation, derive simple formulas for the squared speed of sound and present an alternative proof for a formula that relates it to the squared Wood speed of sound; also, a short derivation of the pressure balance equation is given. For the first time, we introduce regularizations of the heterogeneous model (in the quasi-homogeneous form). Previously, regularizations of such type were developed only for the homogeneous mixtures of perfect polytropic gases, and it was unclear how to cover the case considered here. In the 1D case, based on these regularizations, we construct new explicit two-level in time and symmetric three-point in space finite-difference schemes without limiters, and provide numerical results for various flows with shock waves.

On conditions for weak conservativeness of regularized explicit finite-difference schemes for 1D barotropic gas dynamics equations

We consider explicit two-level three-point in space finite-difference schemes for solving 1D barotropic gas dynamics equations. The schemes are based on special quasi-gasdynamic and quasi-hydrodynamic regularizations of the system. We linearize the schemes on a constant solution and derive the von Neumann type necessary condition and a CFL type criterion (necessary and sufficient condition) for weak conservativeness in $L^2$ for the corresponding initial-value problem on the whole line. The criterion is essentially narrower than the necessary condition and wider than a sufficient one obtained recently in a particular case; moreover, it corresponds most well to numerical results for the original gas dynamics system.

On the Richardson Extrapolation in Time of Finite Element Method with Discrete TBCs for the Cauchy Problem for the 1D Schrödinger Equation

We consider the Cauchy problem for the 1D generalized Schrödinger equation on the whole axis. To solve it, any order finite element in space and the Crank-Nicolson in time method with the discrete transparent boundary conditions (TBCs) has recently been constructed. Now we engage the Richardson extrapolation to improve significantly the accuracy in time step. To study its properties, we give results of numerical experiments and enlarged practical error analysis for three typical examples. The resulting method is able to provide high precision results in the uniform norm for reasonable computational costs that is unreachable by more common 2nd order methods in either space or time step. Comparing our results to the previous ones, we obtain much more accurate results using much less amount of both elements and time steps.
