Script for solving advection problems in 1D using FDM
We will use two different schemes to solve the general advection problem in 1D
First we load some useful libraries
[21]:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import animation
from IPython.display import HTML
from matplotlib.patches import Rectangle
Next we define some physics constants
[22]:
width = 40 # width of domain
vel = 4 # velocity in x direction
ampl = 2 # amplitude of gaussian
sigma = 1 # width of initial guassian
xc = width/2. # center of gaussian
dt = 2e-2 # time step
and some numerical constants constants
[23]:
nx = 201 # Number of gridpoints in x-direction
nt = 100 # Number of timesteps to compute
Xvec,dx = np.linspace(0, width, nx, retstep=True) # X coordinate vector, constant spacing
Set the initial conditions
[24]:
C_init = ampl*np.exp(-np.square(Xvec-xc)/sigma**2)
time = 0
Make a function that computes temperature

[26]:
# write two functions that update the concentration using FTCS and upwind!
#def advect1d_uw(Cold):
# Cnew=Cold.copy()
# if vel>0:
# for i in ???:
# Cnew[i] ???
# else:
# for i in ???:
# Cnew[i] =???
#
# return Cnew
#def advect1d_ftcs(Cold):
# Cnew=Cold.copy()
# for i in ???:
# Cnew[i] =???
#
# return Cnew
Compute and visualize everything
[35]:
# First set up the figure, the axis, and the plot element we want to animate
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,5))
ax = plt.axes(xlim=(0, width), ylim=(-0.2*ampl, 1.5*ampl))
ax.set_xlabel('Distance')
ax.set_ylabel('Concentration')
timeLabel=ax.text(0.02,0.98,'Time: ',transform=ax.transAxes,va='top')
num_solutions = 3
lines = []
for i in range(0,num_solutions):
line, = ax.plot([], [], lw=1)
lines.append(line)
# Initialize Tnew
Cnew_uw=C_init
Cnew_ftcs=C_init
# Animation function which updates figure data. This is called sequentially
def animate(i):
timeLabel._text='Time: %.1f'%(i*dt)
# use global keyword to store the latest solution and update it using fdm_solve function
global Cnew_uw, Cnew_ftcs, Cnew_ana
# numerical solutions
if i==0:
Cnew_uw=C_init
Cnew_ftcs=C_init
Cnew_ana=C_init
else:
Cnew_uw=advect1d_uw(Cnew_uw)
Cnew_ftcs=advect1d_ftcs(Cnew_ftcs)
Cnew_ana=ampl*np.exp(-np.square(Xvec-xc-i*dt*vel)/sigma**2)
lines[0].set_data(Xvec, Cnew_uw)
lines[1].set_data(Xvec, Cnew_ftcs)
lines[2].set_data(Xvec, Cnew_ana)
return lines
# Call the animator.
anim = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate,frames=nt,interval=50)
plt.close(anim._fig)
# Call function to display the animation
#HTML(anim.to_html5_video()) # lower resolution
HTML(anim.to_jshtml()) # higher resolution
