Numerical methods for the solution of time-dependent partial differential equations are classified under three headings and members of each class are considered in some detail. A survey of the relative merits of the hopscotch class of algorithms and of methods of Galerkin type is given with particular reference to the needs of the user. Some suggestions for possible developments in this field are included in the hope that they may lead to powerful schemes for the solution of partial differential equations.

Many problems involving the solution of partial differential equations require the solution over a finite region with fixed boundaries on which conditions are prescribed. It is a well known fact that the numerical solution of many such problems requires additional conditions on these boundaries and these conditions must be chosen to ensure stability. This problem has been considered by, amongst others, Kreiss [11, 12, 13], Osher [16, 17], Gustafsson et al. [9] Gottlieb and Tarkel [7] and Burns [1]

Abstract In the present manuscript, unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow over a moving porous semi-infinite vertical plate with time-dependent suction has been studied in the presence of chemical reaction and radiation parameters. Time-dependent partial differential equations in the dimensionless form are solved numerically through mathematical modelling in COMSOL Multiphysics. The results are obtained for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles at different times. Steady state results are also presented for different values of physical parameters. The parameters involved in the problem are useful to change the characteristics of velocity, heat transfer and concentration profiles. The numerical solution of partial differential equations involved in the problem is obtained without sacrificing the relevant physical phenomena.
