Purpose
d03pcf/d03pca integrates a system of linear or nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) in one space variable. The spatial discretization is performed using finite differences, and the method of lines is employed to reduce the PDEs to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The resulting system is solved using a backward differentiation formula method.
d03pca is a version of
d03pcf that has additional arguments in order to make it safe for use in multithreaded applications (see
Section 5).

Description
d03pcf/d03pca integrates the system of parabolic equations:
where
,
and
depend on
,
,
,
and the vector
is the set of solution values
and the vector
is its partial derivative with respect to
. Note that
,
and
must not depend on
.
The integration in time is from to , over the space interval , where and are the leftmost and rightmost points of a user-defined mesh . The coordinate system in space is defined by the value of ;
for Cartesian coordinates,
for cylindrical polar coordinates and for spherical polar coordinates. The mesh should be chosen in accordance with the expected behaviour of the solution.
The system is defined by the functions
,
and
which must be specified in
pdedef.
The initial values of the functions
must be given at
. The functions
, for
, which may be thought of as fluxes, are also used in the definition of the boundary conditions for each equation. The boundary conditions must have the form
where
or
.
The boundary conditions must be specified in
bndary.
The problem is subject to the following restrictions:
(i) |
, so that integration is in the forward direction; |
(ii) |
,
and the flux must not depend on any time derivatives; |
(iii) |
the evaluation of the functions ,
and is done at the mid-points of the mesh intervals by calling the pdedef for each mid-point in turn. Any discontinuities in these functions must therefore be at one or more of the mesh points ; |
(iv) |
at least one of the functions must be nonzero so that there is a time derivative present in the problem; and |
(v) |
if and , which is the left boundary point, then it must be ensured that the PDE solution is bounded at this point. This can be done by either specifying the solution at or by specifying a zero flux there, that is and . See also Section 9. |
The parabolic equations are approximated by a system of ODEs in time for the values of at mesh points. For simple problems in Cartesian coordinates, this system is obtained by replacing the space derivatives by the usual central, three-point finite difference formula. However, for polar and spherical problems, or problems with nonlinear coefficients, the space derivatives are replaced by a modified three-point formula which maintains second-order accuracy. In total there are ODEs in the time direction. This system is then integrated forwards in time using a backward differentiation formula method.

Accuracy
d03pcf/d03pca controls the accuracy of the integration in the time direction but not the accuracy of the approximation in space. The spatial accuracy depends on both the number of mesh points and on their distribution in space. In the time integration only the local error over a single step is controlled and so the accuracy over a number of steps cannot be guaranteed. You should therefore test the effect of varying the accuracy argument,
acc.

Parallelism and Performance
d03pcf/d03pca is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
d03pcf/d03pca makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the
X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the
Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
d03pcf/d03pca is designed to solve parabolic systems (possibly including some elliptic equations) with second-order derivatives in space. The argument specification allows you to include equations with only first-order derivatives in the space direction but there is no guarantee that the method of integration will be satisfactory for such systems. The position and nature of the boundary conditions in particular are critical in defining a stable problem. It may be advisable in such cases to reduce the whole system to first-order and to use the Keller box scheme routine
d03pef.
The time taken depends on the complexity of the parabolic system and on the accuracy requested.

Example
We use the example given in
Dew and Walsh (1981) which consists of an elliptic-parabolic pair of PDEs. The problem was originally derived from a single third-order in space PDE. The elliptic equation is
and the parabolic equation is
where
. The boundary conditions are given by
and
The first of these boundary conditions implies that the flux term in the second PDE,
, is zero at .
The initial conditions at
are given by
The value
was used in the problem definition. A mesh of
points was used with a circular mesh spacing to cluster the points towards the right-hand side of the spatial interval,
