SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the application of the Mehrstellenverfahren scheme for discretizing differential equations with non-uniform grid spacing (hx, hy, hz). Miquel seeks guidance on adapting the Mehrstellenverfahren, typically used with uniform grid spacing, to accommodate varying grid sizes. He mentions using Fornberg weights for discretizing the generalized Poisson equation's first and second derivatives and inquires about alternative methods beyond Bernt Fornberg's weights.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of differential equations and discretization techniques
  • Familiarity with the Mehrstellenverfahren scheme
  • Knowledge of Fornberg weights for numerical differentiation
  • Basic concepts of grid spacing in numerical methods
NEXT STEPS
  • Research adaptations of the Mehrstellenverfahren for non-uniform grid spacing
  • Explore alternative numerical differentiation methods beyond Fornberg weights
  • Study the generalized Poisson equation and its discretization techniques
  • Investigate the impact of grid spacing on numerical stability and accuracy
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, numerical analysts, and engineers involved in computational modeling and simulation of differential equations, particularly those working with non-uniform grids.

Hi everybody,

I need to discretize a differential equation. The grid that I am considering has a different grid spacing along the three space directions. That is, hx different than hy and hz. For that purpose, I would like to discretize the differential equation through the Mehrstellenverfahren scheme. The problem is that in all the references that I have found, the equation with the corresponding weights assumes that the grid spacing is the same along each of the three space directions (hx=hx=hx=h). I show you the corresponding equation in the attached file.

I would like to use this scheme in my particular situation. Does someone know how this equation would look like?

Thank you very much in advance!

Miquel

Thanks for the post! Sorry you aren't generating responses at the moment. Do you have any further information, come to any new conclusions or is it possible to reword the post?
 
Hi,

As I see that maybe not many people use this scheme to discretize differential equations, I would reword this post. I have discretized a differential equation (generalized Poisson equation) in a real space grid. If you take a look to the attached file, this is the first equation. The left hand side of this equation can be rewritten like in the second equation. Then, I have used Fornberg weights to discretize first and second derivatives. Do you know if, a part from Bernt Fornbverg weights, there exist a better option?
