APPLICATION OF THE VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLES OF MECHANICS TO CONSTRUCT TIME-DISCRETE DIFFERENCE GAS-DYNAMIC MODELS.8. IMPLICIT FINITE-DIFFERENCE SCHEMES WITH PHASE VOLUME AND CANONICITY PRESERVED

Yu. A. Bondarenko
VANT. Ser.: Mat. Mod. Fiz. Proc. 2011. No 2. P. 3-17.

It has been proved for the finite-difference schemes of Lagrangian gas dynamics built with the variational method using the time- and space-discrete definition of the principle of least action (Hamilton-Ostrogradskii principle) that they preserve phase volume and canonicity (Hamiltonicity). The paper also proves that implicit finite-difference schemes with constant weight = 1/2 (in equations for coordinates and velocity) do not preserve phase volume and, far less, canonicity for an arbitrary, variable time step with any way of choosing the hidden generalized coordinates and hidden generalized momentum (such difference schemes could not be built with the stepwise variational method).


Key words: Lagrangian gas dynamics, principle of least action, variational difference schemes, schemes with weights, variable time step, phase volume, canonicity, hidden variables.

DIFFERENCE SCHEMES FOR MOLECULAR DYNAMICS. 1. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF STABILITY, ACCURACY, AND EFFICIENCY

Investigations of accuracy have been performed for the most extensively used difference schemes for MD simulations. The paper concludes that difference schemes with canonicity of phase flow demonstrate the best ratio between the accuracy and efficiency.
The paper offers the RKN4 scheme, which is a three-stage difference scheme of the fourth order of approximation. It allows reduction (by 3 to 4 orders) in the amplitude error and total energy disbalance in comparison with the Verlet scheme very often used for the molecular dynamics problems. Thus, it becomes possible to reduce the problem runtime while preserving the given computation accuracy.


Key words: molecular dynamics, Hamiltonian systems, phase error, splitting method, preservation of the phase flow canonicity, MD difference schemes.

QUASI-DIFFUSION METHOD APPLICATION TO SOLVE 2D AXIALLY-SYMMETRIC PROBLEMS OF RADIATION TRANSPORT IN SPECTRAL-KINETIC SCENARIO USING A SQUARE GRID

N. G. Karlykhanov, A. V. Urakova, S. A. Shnitko
VANT. Ser.: Mat. Mod. Fiz. Proc. 2011. No 2. P. 3-17.

The paper considers an implicit scheme used to solve the radiation transport equation in quasi-diffusion approximation along with the energy equation in a 2D case using a square grid. For the transport equation we use a conservative monotone difference scheme of the first accuracy order. Since it is a well-known fact that there are no linear, monotone, difference schemes of the second accuracy order for hyperbolic equation systems, we propose a hybrid difference scheme to solve the quasi-diffusion type equations. It is a combination of schemes of the first and second orders of accuracy and provides the monotone behavior of solution. The method of singling out a diagonal element is used to solve quasi-diffusion equations along with the energy equation.


Key words: radiation transport equation, quasi-diffusion equations, equation of energy.

DSn-SCHEME FOR THE 2D KINETIC EQUATION OF RADIATION TRANSPORT IN SPHERICAL COORDINATES

A. I. Bochkov, V. V. Suchkova, A. P. Trubitsyn
VANT. Ser.: Mat. Mod. Fiz. Proc. 2011. No 2. P. 3-17.

The paper describes the numerical method used to solve the 2D time-dependent kinetic equation of radiation transport in spherical coordinates. The finite-difference approximation to the equation has been built on non-orthogonal quadrangular spatial grids using a scheme with additional relations and is the conservative one. An algorithm has been developed on the base of the sweep scheme to solve the resultant system of grid equations. The scheme testing results are given for a 1D problem with a source.


Key words: axial symmetry, 2D radiation transport equation, spherical coordinate system, solution scheme.

ABOUT DIFFUSION PROPERTIES OF THE ROMB SCHEME FOR P1-EQUATIONS

A. A. Shestakov
VANT. Ser.: Mat. Mod. Fiz. Proc. 2011. No 2. P. 3-17.

The paper analyzes the diffusion properties of the ROMB scheme for transport equations in P1-approximation. One of the requirements to a fine difference scheme for the transport equation in P1-approximation is to realize asymptotic diffusion limit. The standard Riemann scheme has no such asymptotic diffusion limit in problems of the diffusion nature, i. e. in problems accounting transport equations within asymptotic small absorption and small sources. It is shown that the ROMB scheme do have such asymptotic diffusion limit.


Key words: ROMB scheme, asymptotic diffusion limit.

The paper presents a general scheme for the global reconstruction of a space grid and regridding within a single procedure. The procedure stages are described and for each stage a user-friendly interface is demonstrated.
The procedure applicability, its manifold possibilities of changing the topology of computational grids, and a sufficiently high quality of the regridding process have been demonstrated by the example of reconstructing a grid for multiple-domain 2D computations using KORONA code.
