The Westervelt equation is a model for the propagation of finite amplitude
ultrasound. The method of discrete exterior calculus can be used to solve this
equation numerically. A significant advantage of this method is that it can be
used to find numerical solutions in the discrete space manifold and the time,
and therefore is a generation of finite difference time domain method. This
algorithm has been implemented in C++.
To predict the heat diffusion in a given region over time, it is often
necessary to find the numerical solution for heat equation. With the techniques
of discrete differential calculus, we propose two unconditional stable
numerical schemes for simulation heat equation on space manifold and time. The
analysis of their stability and error is accomplished by the use of maximum
principle.
Numerical simulation provides a effective tool for studying both the spatial
and temporal nature of acoustic field on 3D or 4D timespace. The paper deals
with the description of discrete exterior calculus scheme for the wave
equation. This method can be directly implemented on manifold, which is the
generation of finite difference time domain method from flat space to curved
space.
Computational electromagnetism is concerned with the numerical study of
Maxwell equations. By choosing a discrete Gaussian measure on prism lattice, we
use discrete exterior calculus and lattice gauge theory to construct discrete
Maxwell equations in vacuum case. We implement this scheme on Java development
plateform to simulate the behavior of electromagnetic waves.
Implicit discrete exterior calculus technique for Maxwell's equations in time
domain is discussed, which provide flexibility in numerical computing Maxwell's
equations on manifold. The implicit scheme and discrete exterior calculus can
be united to find an unconditional stable approach, which is obtained by
properly defining a discrete Hodge star operator. The algorithm has been
implemented on Java development plateform.
