Abstract

Today we faced the problem of solving equations for shallow bodies of water in irregular regions; These equations are very important to be able to model the behavior of liquids that have the characteristic that their extension is much greater than their depth. One of the important blocks to solve these equations is the advection equation. In this work, some schemes are proposed to approximate the solution of the advection equation in irregular regions in the plane, using a variation of the finite difference method in convex and structured meshes.

Abstract

Nowadays, there are many modelling problems which involve the shallow water equations for irregular domains. One of the most important blocks for solving these equations is the advection equation. In this paper, we present the implementation of an implicit modified Lax-Wendroff scheme in order to approximate the solution of the advection equation in some irregular domains in the plane, using a general finite difference method on structured convex grids.
