Solving second order time-dependent PDE












1














I am trying to solve a non-linear second order PDE as given below.
$$partial_{t}u+upartial_{x}u=partial_{xx}u+u$$
with periodic boundary condition: $$u(x,t)=u(x+2pi,t)$$ and initial condition: $$u(x,0)=u_{0}(x)$$
I am using a fractional step method to solve this problem as shown below.




  • 1st step: Non-linear part $$partial_{t}u=-upartial_{x}u$$

  • 2nd step: Linear part $$partial_{t}u=partial_{xx}u+u$$
    using Fourier discretization in space.


But I do not get reasonable results and there are oscillations.
Any suggestions for any other method for solving such PDEs?

  • Why not just method of lines in direction $t$?

  • Also, the Cauchy problem for this PDE doesn't seem always very well posed. I suspect you get only local existence in time.

  • Consider for instance the simpler $partial_t u = u(1-partial_t u)$. If $partial_tu>-1$, then solutions try to grow exponentially and then I don't know if your PDE blows up...

  • If your PDE is not well behaved, no matter how good a numerical scheme you pick, it will never avoid blow-ups
