fd1d_advection_lax_wendroff_test

fd1d_advection_lax_wendroff_test, a Fortran77 code which calls fd1d_advection_lax_wendroff(), which applies the finite difference method (FDM) to solve the time-dependent advection equation ut = - c * ux in one spatial dimension, with a constant velocity, using the Lax-Wendroff method for the time derivative.

Graphical output for this program was created using GNUPLOT. Data at selected time steps was written to a "data" file, and the appropriate GNUPLOT commands were written to a "command" file. The plot can be created by the command

        gnuplot < advection_commands.txt
