Numerical Method
- In order to evolve the degrees of freedom u(l)
i (t), we time equation ut+f(u)x = 0
with basis v(i)
l (x), and integrate it on cell Ii, using integration by part, we obtain:
d dtu(l)
i (t) + 1
al
f(uh(x, t)) d dxv(i)
l (x)dx + f(uh(xi+1/2, t))v(i) l (xi+1/2)
−f(uh(xi−1/2, t))v(i)
l (xi−1/2)
l = 0, 1, · · · , k
- However, the boundary terms f(ui+1/2) and vi+1/2 etc. are not well defined when
u and v are in this space, as they are discontinuous at the cell interfaces.
