Title: Simple Numerical Schemes for the Korteweg-deVries Equation

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/769392· OSTI ID:769392

Two numerical schemes, which simulate the propagation of dispersive non-linear waves, are described. The first is a split-step Fourier scheme for the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. The second is a finite-difference scheme for the modified KdV equation. The stability and accuracy of both schemes are discussed. These simple schemes can be used to study a wide variety of physical processes that involve dispersive nonlinear waves.
