A noniterative finite difference method is given for the solutions of linear elliptic equations with linear boundary conditions. This method is applicable to a variety of gas bearing problems. Comparisons are made with other numerical techniques, and an application to the spiral groove thrust plate is given.

In this work, we discuss a hybrid-based method on differential transforms and a finite difference method to numerical solution of convection–diffusion equation with Dirichlet’s type boundary conditions. The developed method is tested on various problems and the numerical results are reported in tabular and figure form. This method can be easily extended to handle non-linear convection–diffusion partial differential equations.

In this paper, we obtain the numerical solution of a 1-D generalised Burgers-Huxley equation under specified initial and boundary conditions, considered in three different regimes. The methods are Forward Time Central Space (FTCS) and a non-standard finite difference scheme (NSFD). We showed the schemes satisfy the generic requirements of the finite difference method in solving a particular problem. There are two proposed solutions for this problem and we show that one of the proposed solutions contains a minor error. We present results using FTCS, NSFD, and exact solution as well as show how the profiles differ when the two proposed solutions are used. In this problem, the boundary conditions are obtained from the proposed solutions. Error analysis and convergence tests are performed.

A wide body of work exists that describes numerical solution for the nonlinear system of underwater towed system. Many researchers usually divide the tow cable with less number elements for the consideration of computational time. However, this type of installation affects the accuracy of the numerical solution. In this paper, a newly finite difference method for solving the nonlinear dynamic equations of the towed system is developed. The mathematical model of tow cable and towed body are both discretized to nonlinear algebraic equations by center finite difference method. A newly discipline for formulating the nonlinear equations and Jacobian matrix of towed system are proposed. We can solve the nonlinear dynamic equation of underwater towed system quickly by using this discipline, when the size of number elements is large.

In this article, we have presented a variable step finite difference method for solving second order boundary value problems in ordinary differential equations. We have discussed the convergence and established that proposed has at least cubic order of accuracy. The proposed method tested on several model problems for the numerical solution. The numerical results obtained for these model problems with known / constructed exact solution confirm the theoretical conclusions of the proposed method. The computational results obtained for these model problems suggest that method is efficient and accurate.
