fd1d_burgers_leap


fd1d_burgers_leap, an Octave code which solves the nonviscous time-dependent Burgers equation using the finite difference method (FDM) and the leapfrog method.

The function u(x,t) is to be solved for in the equation:

du/dt + u * du/dx = 0
for a <= x <= b and t_init <= t <= t_last.

Problem data includes an initial condition for u(x,t_init), and the boundary value functions u(a,t) and u(b,t).

The non-viscous Burgers equation can develop shock waves or discontinuities.

Usage:

fd1d_burgers_leap
