A lumped Galerkin method for solving the Burgers equation

Pages 1433-1444 | Received 18 Feb 2004, Published online: 25 Jan 2007
 

Abstract

A numerical solution of the one-dimensional Burgers equation is obtained using a lumped Galerkin method with quadratic B-spline finite elements. The scheme is implemented to solve a set of test problems with known exact solutions. Results are compared with published numerical and exact solutions. The proposed scheme performs well. A linear stability analysis shows the scheme to be unconditionally stable.
