Foil 19 General 2D Artificial Time Diffusion Equation in Iterative Form

From CPS615-Basic PDE Solver Discussion and Sparse Matrix Formulation Delivered Lectures of CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- 8 November 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
Secs 131
1 This give Iterative equation if we use k to label time steps
2 c1 yk+1(x,y) = ( y"k"(x+h,y) + y"k"(x-h,y)+y"k"(x,y+h)+y"k"(x,y-h))/4
3 - c2 y"k"(x,y)
4 where c1 + c2 = 1
5 and the value of c1,c2 depend on K,h and dt.
6 as dt is arbitary, we can choose c1
7 (and hence c2 = 1 - c1 ) to optimize convergence.
8 We use cryptic notaation "k" to repreprent various possible choices for evaluating time on right hand side. Simplest is "k" = k but choices are k, k+1 or linear combinations which can vary for different x values.
