Problem 1
Elliptical partial differential equations (PDEs) are very important and common in many domains. For example,
ideal flows in fluid dynamics, where the governing equation for continuity can be transformed into a stream
function.
For the potential flow shown in the picture, the governing equation for the stream function is:
-=(grad*grad)-=grad2=(del2delx2+del2dely2)=del2delx2+del2dely2=0
at point 16 and 15,=10, the L shape on the top has =0, and the other one at the bottom is =20.
Assume the grid spaces x=y=2.
A). Write out the central finite difference (FD) discretization for Points 12,13,14,17,18,19.
B). By using the Taylor expansion series, prove the above equation is compatible/consistent with the original
PDE, i.e. Eqn.1, if the mesh is very dense, i.e.,x and y are very small,
C). Write the implicit 66 matrix for the inner nodes (no need to include boundary conditions).- Then this
group of linear algebraic equations can be solved very conveniently with MATLAB.
D). Giving =0 to the 6 inner nodes as their initial values, use an explicit scheme to iterate the inner values
for the 6 points (4 rounds of iterations for those nodes shall be enough). You shall appreicate the boundary
effect propagating into the inner domain.
