The Lax–Friedrichs method, named after Peter Lax and Kurt O. Friedrichs, is a numerical method for the solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations based on finite differences. The method can be described as the FTCS (forward in time, centered in space) scheme with an artificial viscosity term of 1/2. One can view the Lax–Friedrichs method as an alternative to Godunov's scheme, where one avoids solving a Riemann problem at each cell interface, at the expense of adding artificial viscosity. ==Illustration for a Linear Problem== Consider a one-dimensional, linear hyperbolic partial differential equation for of the form: : on the domain : with initial condition : and the boundary conditions : : If one discretizes the domain to a grid with equally spaced points with a spacing of in the -direction and in the -direction, we define : where : are integers representing the number of grid intervals. Then the Lax–Friedrichs method for solving the above partial differential equation is given by: : Or, rewriting this to solve for the unknown : Where the initial values and boundary nodes are taken from : : : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lax–Friedrichs method」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
