Default How to implement implicit TVD limiter?

Hi everyone,

As title, my question is how to implement the TVD scheme (Flux/Slope limiters) implicitly.

For example,
If we define F(n+1, j+1) as the function at n+1 time step and j+1 cell, we can represent the general one-parameter family of explicit and implicit schemes of the following form

u(n+1, j) + lamda*theda*[ h(n+1,j+1/2) - h(n+1,j-1/2)] =
u(n,j) - lamda(1-theda)[ h(n,j+1/2) - h(n,j-1/2) ]

where "lamda" is a constant, "theda" is used to control the scheme is explicit or implicit, and "h" is the flux function containing limiter such as
MINMOD.

My question is how to implement the MINMOD in h(n+1, j+1/2) in the implicit scheme. Should I just use the information of previous time step and evaluate it explicitly?


Thanks.

For a one dimensional scheme, it could be useful to assemble the matrix based on differentiating through the limiter, but in 2D and especially 3D, this will produce a Jacobian that's just too expensive to work with. Actually computing the stencil is somewhat messy to do by hand, so you may want to consider automatic or symbolic differentiation. I would recommend using a Jacobian-free method preconditioned by a first-order operator. Use of differentiable limiters is useful in this context. A good paper on this:

Code:

  journal={International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications},
  volume={14},

  year={2000}
}

Thanks for your kindness reply.

If possible, would you please show a little bit more explicit on the formulation of MINMOD (or some other limiters)? I have totally no idea how to formulate a function with "max(0, min(1,r)" or (r+|r|) / (1+|r|) which is the flux limiter? I have found dozens of papers talking about limiters, but none of which shows how to do this formulation. Or where I can find some useful materials on this?

Thanks

This is just a chain rule, in the case of minmod, d\phi/dr = 1 if 0 < r < 1 else 0. Newton methods don't work great because the derivative is discontinuous, which is why you should probably use a C^1 limiter for implicit methods. Of course you have to differentiate again to get the derivative with respect to the jumps, and again to get a derivative with respect to the stencil (which is what you need to assemble a matrix). I recommend using automatic differentiation for this, it's not worth your time to work it out by hand for 20 different limiters. And I still recommend using a Jacobian-free method, in which case you don't have to do this differentiation at all, and you can precondition with a first-order scheme which is cheap to assemble.
