Numerical PDEs Project

  • Dates

This is a group project. You are expected to work in groups of two. Let me know who is in your group by April 14th. There will be two parts to the project. The first part is to numerically solve the linear advection equation using several schemes. This will be due April 19th. The second part of the project will be a numerical study of the KdV equation. The report will be due April 28th.

  • Project

The goal of this project is to use MATLAB to investigate numerical solutions of given partial differential equations, analyze truncation errors of given finite difference schemes, and to derive stability conditions. Specific instructions are given in the document  NumPDEHW.pdf. (When it is ready)

  • Report Format

All work should be typed with double-spacing and 12 pt font. You can use LaTeX to write your reports. You will be expected to use correct English grammar and punctuation. This is a report and thus you will use proper sentence and paragraph formatting. You will be graded on the evidence of work, mathematical detail and understanding, proper exposition and neatness. Your work should also be supported with properly labeled and embedded plots and equations. Any references used should be cited as well. These reports will count towards the project component of your grade.
