Problem definition

 \frac{\partial u}{\partial t}+ u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=0

Domain

x \in \left[-5,10\right]

Initial Condition

u(x,0) = 
\begin{cases}
0 & x \le 0 \\
1 & x > 0
\end{cases}

Boundary condition

u(0,t)=0

Exact solution

u(x,t) = 
\begin{cases}
0 & x \le 0 \\
x/t & 0 < x < t \\
1 & \mbox{otherwise}
\end{cases}

Explicit Scheme (DRP)

 {(\frac{\partial u}{\partial x})}_i=\frac{1.0}{dx}\sum_{k=-3}^3 a_k u_{i+k}

The coefficients can be found in Tam(1993).At the right boundaries use fourth order central difference and fourth backward difference.At left boundaries use second order central difference for i=2 and fourth order central difference for i=3.The Dispersion relation preserving (DRP) finite volume scheme can be found in Popescu (2005).

Implicit Scheme(Compact)

Domain: \alpha v_{i-1} + v_i + \alpha v_{i+1}=\frac{a}{2h}(u_{i+1}-u_{i-1})
Boundaries:  v_1+\alpha v_2=\frac{1}{h}(au_1+bu_2+cu_3+du_4)

where v refers to the first derivative.For a general treatment of compact scheme refer to Lele (1992).In this test case the following values are used

 \mbox{Domain:} \alpha=0.25 , a=\frac{2}{3}(\alpha+2)
 \mbox{Boundary:} \alpha=2 ,a=-(\frac{11+2\alpha}{6}),b=\frac{6-\alpha}{2},c=\frac{2\alpha-3}{2},d=\frac{2-\alpha}{6}

Both the schemes are 4th order accurate in the domain.The compact scheme has third order accuracy at the boundary.

Time (4th Order Runga-Kutta)

\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}=f
u^{M+1} =u^M + b^{M+1}dtH^M
 H^M=a^MH^{M-1}+f^M

,M=1,2..5 .The coefficients a and b can be found in Williamson(1980)
