Time-adaptive Adomian decomposition-based numerical scheme for Euler equations

Abstract

Time efficiency is one of the more critical concerns in computational fluid dynamics simulations of industrial applications. Extensive research has been conducted to improve the underlying numerical schemes to achieve time process reduction. Within this context, this paper presents a new time discretization method based on the Adomian decomposition technique for Euler equations. The obtained scheme is time-order adaptive; the order is automatically adjusted at each time step and over the space domain, leading to significant processing time reduction. The scheme is formulated in an appropriate recursive formula, and its efficiency is demonstrated through numerical tests by comparison to exact solutions and the popular Runge–Kutta-discontinuous Galerkin method.
