A preservative scheme is presented and analyzed for the solution of a quenching type convective-diffusion problem modeled through one-sided Riemann-Liouville space-fractional derivatives. Properly weighted Grünwald formulas are employed for the discretization of the fractional derivative. A forward difference approximation is considered in the approximation of the convective term of the nonlinear equation. Temporal steps are optimized via an asymptotic arc-length monitoring mechanism till the quenching point. Under suitable constraints on spatial-temporal discretization steps, the monotonicity, positivity preservations of the numerical solution and numerical stability of the scheme are proved. Three numerical experiments are designed to demonstrate and simulate key characteristics of the semi-adaptive scheme constructed, including critical length, quenching time and quenching location of the fractional quenching phenomena formulated through the one-sided space-fractional convective-diffusion initial-boundary value problem. Effects of the convective function to quenching are discussed. Numerical estimates of the order of convergence are obtained. Computational results obtained are carefully compared with those acquired from conventional integer order quenching convection-diffusion problems for validating anticipated accuracy. The experiments have demonstrated expected accuracy and feasibility of the new method.

A simulation expressivity of the quenching phenomenon in a two-sided space-fractional diffusion equation
The aims of this paper are to investigate and propose a numerical approximation for a quenching type diffusion problem associated with a two-sided Riemann-Liouville space- fractional derivative. The approach adopts weighted Grünwald formulas for suitable spatial discretization. An implicit Crank-Nicolson scheme combined with adaptive technology is then implemented for a temporal integration. Monotonicity, positivity preservation and linearized stability are proved under suitable constraints on spatial and temporal discretization parameters. Two specially designed simulation experiments are presented for illustrating and outreaching properties of the numerical method constructed. Connections between the two-sided fractional differential operator and critical values including quenching time, critical length and quenching location are investigated.

na (Ed.)This paper investigates quenching solutions of an one-dimensional, two-sided Riemann–Liouville fractional order convection–diffusion problem. Fractional order spatial derivatives are discretized using weighted averaging approximations in conjunction with standard and shifted Grünwald formulas. The advective term is handled utilizing a straightforward Euler formula, resulting in a semi-discretized system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The conservativeness of the proposed scheme is rigorously proved and validated through simulation experiments. The study is further advanced to a fully discretized, semi-adaptive finite difference method. Detailed analysis is implemented for the monotonicity, positivity and stability of the scheme. Investigations are carried out to assess the potential impacts of the fractional order on quenching location, quenching time, and critical length. The computational results are thoroughly discussed and analyzed, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the quenching phenomena modeled through two-sided fractional order convection-diffusion problems.more » « less

null (Ed.)Abstract Variable-order space-fractional diffusion equations provide very competitive modeling capabilities of challenging phenomena, including anomalously superdiffusive transport of solutes in heterogeneous porous media, long-range spatial interactions and other applications, as well as eliminating the nonphysical boundary layers of the solutions to their constant-order analogues.In this paper, we prove the uniqueness of determining the variable fractional order of the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary-value problem of the one-sided linear variable-order space-fractional diffusion equation with some observed values of the unknown solutions near the boundary of the spatial domain.We base on the analysis to develop a spectral-Galerkin Levenberg–Marquardt method and a finite difference Levenberg–Marquardt method to numerically invert the variable order.We carry out numerical experiments to investigate the numerical performance of these methods.more » « less

In this paper, we develop an efficient numerical scheme for solving one-dimensional hyperbolic interface problems. The immersed finite element (IFE) method is used for spatial discretization, which allows the solution mesh to be independent of the interface. Consequently, a fixed uniform mesh can be used throughout the entire simulation. The method of lines is used for temporal discretization. Numerical experiments are provided to show the features of these new methods.more » « less

In this paper, we consider Maxwell’s equations in linear dispersive media described by a single-pole Lorentz model for electronic polarization. We study two classes of commonly used spatial discretizations: finite difference methods (FD) with arbitrary even order accuracy in space and high spatial order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element methods. Both types of spatial discretizations are coupled with second order semi-implicit leap-frog and implicit trapezoidal temporal schemes. By performing detailed dispersion analysis for the semi-discrete and fully discrete schemes, we obtain rigorous quantification of the dispersion error for Lorentz dispersive dielectrics. In particular, comparisons of dispersion error can be made taking into account the model parameters, and mesh sizes in the design of the two types of schemes. This work is a continuation of our previous research on energy-stable numerical schemes for nonlinear dispersive optical media [6,7]. The results for the numerical dispersion analysis of the reduced linear model, considered in the present paper, can guide us in the optimal choice of discretization parameters for the more complicated and nonlinear models. The numerical dispersion analysis of the fully discrete FD and DG schemes, for the dispersive Maxwell model considered in this paper, clearly indicate the dependence of the numerical dispersion errors on spatial and temporal discretizations, their order of accuracy, mesh discretization parameters and model parameters. The results obtained here cannot be arrived at by considering discretizations of Maxwell’s equations in free space. In particular, our results contrast the advantages and disadvantages of using high order FD or DG schemes and leap-frog or trapezoidal time integrators over different frequency ranges using a variety of measuresmore » « less
