Problem Description

We will set up the problem for $$ u_t + u u_x = 0$$ with periodic BC on the interval $[0,1]$.

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

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:

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

plt.plot(x, f(x), lw=3, clip_on=False)

Setting the Time Step

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

lmbda = 0.93 * np.sign(c)
dt = dx * lmbda / abs(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

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.

import time

plotit = True
u = f(x)

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,10))
plt.title('u vs x')
line2, = plt.plot(x, u, lw=3, clip_on=False)
        
def timestepper(n):
    # ETBS
    u[J] = u[J] - lmbda * u[J] * (u[J] - u[Jm1])
    
    uex = f((xx - c * (n+1) * dt) % 1.0)
        
    line2.set_data(x, u)
    
    return line2
