SOME INPLICIT FINITE DIFFERENCE SCHEMES FOR HYPERBOLIC SYSTEMS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4704095
Implicit finite difference schemes using large time steps can be an advantage in computing slowly varying solutions to hyperbolic systems, but the usual Crank-Nicholson scheme as applied to a hyperbolic system is rather slow. Two modifications of the Crank-Nicholson scheme for hyperbolic systems that are implicit only in that they require the inversion of tridiagonal matrices are described. However, these schemes are unconditionally stable only for positive definite systems (supersonic flow). The results of computations using these schemes are described. (auth)
