## Problem Description¶

Here you will set up the problem for $$u_t + c u_x = 0$$ with periodic BC on the interval [0,1]

In [7]:
c = 1.0
T = 1.0 / c # end time


## Set up the Grid¶

• dx will be the grid spacing in the $x$-direction
• x will be the grid coordinates
• xx will be really fine grid coordinates
In [8]:
nx = 82
x = np.linspace(0, 1, nx, endpoint=False)
dx = x[1] - x[0]
xx = np.linspace(0, 1, 1000, endpoint=False)


Now define an initial condition:

In [9]:
def f(x):
u = np.zeros(x.shape)
u[np.intersect1d(np.where(x>0.4), np.where(x<0.6))] = 1.0
return u

In [10]:
plt.plot(x, f(x), lw=3, clip_on=False)

Out[10]:
[<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x7f679cd039d0>]

## Setting the Time Step¶

Have spatial grid. Now we need a time step. So define a ratio parameter $\lambda$. Let $$\Delta t = \Delta x \frac{\lambda}{c}$$

In [46]:
lmbda = 0.93
dt = dx * lmbda / c
nt = int(T/dt)
print('T = %g' % T)
print('tsteps = %d' % nt)
print('    dx = %g' % dx)
print('    dt = %g' % dt)
print('lambda = %g' % lmbda)

T = 1
tsteps = 88
dx = 0.0121951
dt = 0.0113415
lambda = 0.93


Now make an index list, called $J$, so that we can access $J+1$ and $J-1$ easily

In [47]:
J = np.arange(0, nx - 1)  # all vertices
Jm1 = np.roll(J, 1)
Jp1 = np.roll(J, -1)


## Run and Animate¶

Experiments:

• Try different values of $\lambda$.
• Try all the methods.
In [48]:
import time

method = 'ETBS'
plotit = True
u = f(x)

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,10))
plt.title('u vs x')
line1, = plt.plot(x, u, lw=3, clip_on=False)
line2, = plt.plot(x, u, lw=3, clip_on=False)

def timestepper(n):
if method == 'ETBS':
u[J] = u[J] - lmbda * (u[J] - u[Jm1])

if method == "ETFS":
u[J] = u[J] - lmbda * (u[Jp1] - u[J])

if method == "ETCS":
u[J] = u[J] - lmbda * (1.0 / 2.0) * (u[Jp1] - u[Jm1])

uex = f((xx - c * (n+1) * dt) % 1.0)

line1.set_data(xx, uex)
line2.set_data(x, u)

return line1, line2
