This manuscript introduces a class of higher order compact schemes for the solution of one dimensional (1-D) Euler equations of gas dynamics. These schemes are fourth order accurate in space and second or lower order accurate in time, depending on a weighted average parameter μ. The robustness and efficiency of our proposed schemes have been validated by applying them to three different shock-tube problems of gas dynamics, including the famous SOD shock-tube problem. Later on, the 1-D convergent-divergent nozzle problem (De laval nozzle problem) is also considered and numerical simulations are performed. In all the cases, our computed numerical solutions are found to be in excellent match with the exact solutions or available results in the existing literature. Overall the schemes are found to be efficient and accurate.

The weighted average flux method (WAF) for general hyperbolic conservation laws was formulated by Toro. Here the method is specialized to the time-dependent Euler equations of gas dynamics. Several improvements to the technique are presented. These have resulted from experience obtained from applying WAF to a variety of realistic problems. A hierarchy of solutions to the relevant Riemann problem, ranging from very simple approximations to the exact solution, are presented. Their performance in the WAF method for several test problems in one and two dimensions is assessed.

Linearized Riemann Solver

The time-dependent Euler equations of gas dynamics are a set of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws that admit discontinuous solutions (e. g. shocks). In this paper we are concerned with Riemann-problem-based numerical methods for solving the general initial-value problem for these equations. We present an approximate, linearized Riemann solver for the time-dependent Euler equations. The solution is direct and involves few, and simple, arithmetic operations. The Riemann solver is then used, locally, in conjunction with the weighted average flux numerical method to solve the time-dependent Euler equations in one and two space dimensions with general initial data. For flows with shock waves of moderate strength the computed results are very accurate. For severe flow régimes we advocate the use of the present linearized Riemann solver in combination with the exact Riemann solver in an adaptive fashion. Numerical experiments demonstrate that such an approach can be very successful. One-dimensional and two-dimensional test problems show that the linearized Riemann solver is used in over 99% of the flow field producing net computing savings by a factor of about 2. A reliable and simple switching criterion is also presented. Results show that the adaptive approach effectively provides the resolution and robustness of the exact Riemann solver at the computing cost of the simple linearized Riemann solver. The relevance of the present methods concerns the numerical solution of multi-dimensional problems accurately and economically.

Abstract The process of diffusion-limited cell dehydration is modeled for a planar system by writing the one-dimensional diffusion-equation for a cell with moving, semipermeable boundaries. For the simplifying case of isothermal dehydration with constant diffusivity, an approximate analytical solution is obtained by linearizing the governing partial differential equations. The general problem must be solved numerically. The Forward Time Center Space (FTCS) and Crank-Nicholson differencing schemes are implemented, and evaluated by comparison with the analytical solution. Putative stability criteria for the two algorithms are proposed based on numerical experiments, and the Crank-Nicholson method is shown to be accurate for a mesh with as few as six nodes.
