naginterfaces.library.pde.dim1_parab_keller(ts, tout, pdedef, bndary, u, x, nleft, acc, comm, itask, itrace, ind, data=None, io_manager=None)[source]

dim1_parab_keller integrates a system of linear or nonlinear, first-order, time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs) in one space variable. The spatial discretization is performed using the Keller box scheme 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 (BDF) method.

Notes

dim1_parab_keller integrates the system of first-order PDEs

In particular the functions must have the general form

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 mesh should be chosen in accordance with the expected behaviour of the solution.

The PDE system which is defined by the functions must be specified in .

The initial values of the functions must be given at . For a first-order system of PDEs, only one boundary condition is required for each PDE component . The boundary conditions are separated into at the left-hand boundary , and at the right-hand boundary , such that . The position of the boundary condition for each component should be chosen with care; the general rule is that if the characteristic direction of at the left-hand boundary (say) points into the interior of the solution domain, then the boundary condition for should be specified at the left-hand boundary. Incorrect positioning of boundary conditions generally results in initialization or integration difficulties in the underlying time integration functions.

The boundary conditions have the form:

at the left-hand boundary, and

at the right-hand boundary.

Note that the functions and must not depend on , since spatial derivatives are not determined explicitly in the Keller box scheme (see Keller (1970)). If the problem involves derivative (Neumann) boundary conditions then it is generally possible to restate such boundary conditions in terms of permissible variables. Also note that and must be linear with respect to time derivatives, so that the boundary conditions have the general form

at the left-hand boundary, and

at the right-hand boundary, where , , , and depend on , and only.

The boundary conditions must be specified in .

The problem is subject to the following restrictions:

  1. , so that integration is in the forward direction;

  2. and must not depend on any time derivatives;

  3. The evaluation of the function is done at the mid-points of the mesh intervals by calling the for each mid-point in turn. Any discontinuities in the function must, therefore, be at one or more of the mesh points ;

  4. At least one of the functions must be nonzero so that there is a time derivative present in the problem.

In this method of lines approach the Keller box scheme (see Keller (1970)) is applied to each PDE in the space variable only, resulting in a system of ODEs in time for the values of at each mesh point. In total there are ODEs in the time direction. This system is then integrated forwards in time using a BDF method.
