A new method of imposing boundary conditions for hyperbolic equations
A new method to impose boundary conditions for pseudospectral approximations to hyperbolic equations is suggested. This method involves the collocation of the equation at the boundary nodes as well as satisfying boundary conditions. Stability and convergence results are proven for the Chebyshev approximation of linear scalar hyperbolic equations. The eigenvalues of this method applied to parabolic equations are shown to be real and negative.

An iterative method for systems of nonlinear hyperbolic equations
An iterative algorithm for the efficient solution of systems of nonlinear hyperbolic equations is presented. Parallelism is evident at several levels. In the formation of the iteration, the equations are decoupled, thereby providing large grain parallelism. Parallelism may also be exploited within the solves for each equation. Convergence of the interation is established via a bounding function argument. Experimental results in two-dimensions are presented.

Absorbing boundary conditions for second-order hyperbolic equations
A uniform approach to construct absorbing artificial boundary conditions for second-order linear hyperbolic equations is proposed. The nonlocal boundary condition is given by a pseudodifferential operator that annihilates travelling waves. It is obtained through the dispersion relation of the differential equation by requiring that the initial-boundary value problem admits the wave solutions travelling in one direction only. Local approximation of this global boundary condition yields an nth-order differential operator. It is shown that the best approximations must be in the canonical forms which can be factorized into first-order operators. These boundary conditions are perfectly absorbing for wave packets propagating at certain group velocities. A hierarchy of absorbing boundary conditions is derived for transonic small perturbation equations of unsteady flows. These examples illustrate that the absorbing boundary conditions are easy to derive, and the effectiveness is demonstrated by the numerical experiments.

Second-order numerical solution of time-dependent, first-order hyperbolic equations
A finite difference scheme is developed to find an approximate solution of two similar hyperbolic equations, namely a first-order plane wave and spherical wave problem. Finite difference approximations are made for both the space and time derivatives. The result is a conditionally stable equation yielding an exact solution when the Courant number is set to one.

Composite methods for hyperbolic equations
A composite approximation procedure combining the properties of the Lax-Wendroff and leapfrog algorithms is proposed for solving hyperbolic equations. For a one-dimensional equation, a three-step approximation consisting of a two-step Richtmeyer method followed by a leapfrog step is considered. This is a two-level scheme, so all difficulties, including storage requirements, associated with the three-level leapfrog are eliminated. For two-dimensional problems a generalization of the preceding method is used consisting of a rotated Richtmeyer method followed by a modified leapfrog step. It is found that the composite schemes are effective in reducing oscillations and nonlinear instabilities that affect the leapfrog method. The dissipation in the composite schemes is much less than in the Richtmeyer algorithm, and hence can be used for long term integrations.

Grid generation for general 2-D regions using hyperbolic equations
A method for applying a hyperbolic grid generation scheme to the construction of meshes in general 2-D regions has been developed. This approach, which follows the theory developed by Steger and Chaussee (1980) and the algorithm outlined by Kinsey and Barth (1984), is based on improving local grid control. This is accomplished by adding an angle control source term to the equations and using a new algorithm for computing the volume source term. These modifications lead to superior methods for fixing the 'local' problems of hyperbolic grid generation, namely, propagation of initial discontinuities and formation of grid shocks (crossing grid lines). More importantly, a method for solving the global problem of constraining the grid with more than one boundary (internal grid generation) has been developed. These algorithms have been implemented in an interactive grid generation program and the results for several geometries are presented and discussed.

A parallel iterative solution method for systems of nonlinear hyperbolic equations
An iterative algorithm suitable for the solution of a system of nonlinear hyperbolic partial differentiation equations in multiple dimensions is discussed. Current numerical methods for systems of nonlinear PDEs have limited parallelism due to strong coupling between the equations. This method decouples the PDEs by linearizing the convention coefficient for a space-time domain. This provides large grain parallelism. The linearization also allows the treatment of some terms in the equations as source terms, providing more freedom to choose from a wider variety of numerical methods. Smaller grain parallelism may be exploited within the solves for each equation. Thus, the method has potential for parallelism at several levels.

A pseudospectral Legendre method for hyperbolic equations with an improved stability condition
A new pseudospectral method is introduced for solving hyperbolic partial differential equations. This method uses different grid points than previously used pseudospectral methods: in fact the grid are related to the zeroes of the Legendre polynomials. The main advantage of this method is that the allowable time step is proportional to the inverse of the number of grid points 1/N rather than to 1/n(2) (as in the case of other pseudospectral methods applied to mixed initial boundary value problems). A highly accurate time discretization suitable for these spectral methods is discussed.

Stability analysis of numerical boundary conditions and implicit difference approximations for hyperbolic equations
Implicit, noniterative, finite difference schemes were recently developed by several authors for multidimensional systems of nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations. When applied to linear model equations with periodic boundary conditions those schemes are unconditionally stable (A-stable). As applied in practice the algorithms often face a severe time step restriction. A major source of the difficulty is the treatment of the numerical boundary conditions. One conjecture was that unconditional stability requires implicit numerical boundary conditions. An apparent counter example was the space time extrapolation considered by Gustafsson, Kreiss, and Sunstrom. Spatial (implicit) and space time (explicit) extrapolation using normal mode analysis for a finite and infinite number of spatial mesh intervals are examined. The results indicate that for unconditional stability with a finite number of spatial mesh intervals, the numerical boundary conditions must be implicit.

The solution of non-linear hyperbolic equation systems by the finite element method
A finite-element method for the solution of nonlinear hyperbolic systems of equations, such as those encountered in non-self-adjoint problems of transient phenomena in convection-diffusion or in the mixed representation of wave problems, is developed and demonstrated. The problem is rewritten in moving coordinates and reinterpolated to the original mesh by a Taylor expansion prior to a standard Galerkin spatial discretization, and it is shown that this procedure is equivalent to the time-discretization approach of Donea (1984). Numerical results for sample problems are presented graphically, including such shallow-water problems as the breaking of a dam, the shoaling of a wave, and the outflow of a river; compressible flows such as the isothermal flow in a nozzle and the Riemann shock-tube problem; and the two-dimensional scalar-advection, nonlinear-shallow-water, and Euler equations.
