ConservationLawsDiffEq

Collection of explicit numerical schemes for solving systems of Conservations Laws (finite volume methods), using method of Lines and an ODE Solver.

Each scheme returns a semidiscretization (discretization in space) that represents a ODE system. Time integration is performed then using OrdinaryDiffEq.

The general conservation laws problem is represented by the following PDE,

Solutions follow a conservative finite difference (finite volume) pattern. This method updates cell averages of the solution u. For a particular cell i it has the general form

Where the numerical flux is an approximate solution of the Riemann problem at the cell interface .

Features

Mesh:

At the moment only a Cartesian 1D uniform mesh is available, using Uniform1DFVMesh(N,[a,b]) command. Where

N = Number of cells

a,b = start and end coordinates.

The semidiscretization is obtained by using:

getSemiDiscretization(f,scheme,mesh,[boundary_conditions]; Df, use_threads,numvars)

where f is the flux function defined as a julia function.

scheme is the explicit finite volumes scheme used to discretize the flux (see next section).

mesh a valid finite volumes mesh.

boundary_conditions a set of boundary conditions among: Dirichlet(), ZeroFlux() and Periodic().
Note: Dirichlet boundary values are defined by the initial condition.

Df: is an optional Jacobian of the flux function.

use_threads: true or false.

numvars: number of variables of the Conservation Laws system.

Note: OrdinaryDiffEq callbacks can be used in order to fix a CFL constant value, or recover the dt from adaptative ODE methods in the cases when the finite volumes scheme needs its value (getCFLCallback and get_adaptative_callback methods, see examples for more information about its use)

Note: Limiters available: GeneralizedMinmodLimiter(;θ=1.0), MinmodLimiter(), OsherLimiter(;β=1.0), SuperbeeLimiter().

Example

Scalar Burgers equation:

# u(x,t)_t+(0.5*u²(x,t))_{x}=0
# u(0,x) = f0(x)
using ConservationLawsDiffEq
using OrdinaryDiffEq
using LinearAlgebra
const CFL = 0.5
# First define the problem data (Jacobian is optional but useful)
Jf(u) = u           #Jacobian
f(u) = u^2/2        #Flux function
f0(x) = sin(2*π*x)  #Initial data distribution
# Now discretize the domain
mesh = Uniform1DFVMesh(10, [0.0, 1.0])
# Now get a explicit semidiscretization (discrete in space) du_h(t)/dt = f_h(u_h(t))
f_h = getSemiDiscretization(f,LaxFriedrichsScheme(),mesh,[Periodic()]; Df = Jf, use_threads = false,numvars = 1)
#Compute discrete initial data
u0 = getInitialState(mesh,f0,use_threads = true)
#Setup ODE problem for a time interval = [0.0,1.0]
ode_prob = ODEProblem(f_h,u0,(0.0,1.0))
#Setup callback in order to fix CFL constant value
cb = getCFLCallback(f_h, CFL)
#Estimate an initial dt
dt = update_dt!(u0, f_h, CFL)
#Solve problem using OrdinaryDiffEq
sol = solve(ode_prob,SSPRK22(); dt = dt, callback = cb)
#Plot solution
#Wrap solution so we can plot using dispatch
u_h = fv_solution(sol, mesh)
using Plots
plot(u_h,tidx = 1,lab="uo",line=(:dot,2)) #Plot initial data
plot!(u_h,lab="LF")                       #Plot LaxFriedrichsScheme solution
