Hi,
I must solve the question below using crank-nicolson method and Thomas algorithm by writing a code in fortran.



I've written a code for FTN95 as below. It works without a problem and gives me the answers, the problem is that the answers are wrong. I've solved it with FTCS method and analytically,and I know what the right answers are. I've checked the code 100 times and I don't understand what's wrong with it. can anyone pleeeeeas help me?!!!

I have a code that solves the 1d heat eqn. via Crank-Nicolson, I will compare tomorrow.

thanks a lot!

Do you still need help? I found the code quite interesting using the Thomas algorithm, so I've taken a look.

I think your coefficients are not quite right. Think about the equation again, separate the time steps n+1 and n and then build the coefficient matrix. At the Neuman boundary condition I used the shortcut that zero gradient means zero flux, so you don't need a dummy point outside the domain to reconstruct the gradient. Other than that your code seems all right and after fixing the coefficients the solution looks ok I guess.

Code:

program HW36u
implicit none
integer, parameter:: mag = 21
real , dimension(mag) :: u , uold , x , d , b , dprime
real , dimension(2:mag) :: a
real , dimension(mag-1) :: cprime , c
real , dimension( mag , mag ) :: K
real :: t , dt , dx , r , u0 , u20
integer :: j , i , n , m
write (*,*)'type your desirable time'
read (*,*) t
write (*,*)'type your desirable time step'
read (*,*) dt
n = t / dt
dx = 1. / (mag-1)
r = dt / (dx**2)
u0 = 0 !boundary condition

!Initial Condition
do i=1,mag
x(i) = 0 + (i-1)*dx
if ( x(i) < 0.75 ) then
u(i)= 0
else if ( x(i) > 0.75 ) then
u(i) = 1
else
u(i)= 0.5
end if
end do

!! Build coefficient matrix for steady state solution
!constructing the diagonals of the coeficents matrix A
do i=1,mag
b(i) = 2*r
end do
b(mag) = r
do i=1,mag-1
c(i) = -r
end do
c(1) = 0
do i=2,mag
a(i) = -r
end do
!constructing the coeficents of knwon u, matrix K
do i=1,mag
do j=1,mag
if ( i == j ) then
K(i,j) = -b(i)
else if ( j-i == 1) then
K(i,j) = -c(i)
else if ( i-j == 1 ) then
K(i,j) = -a(i)
else
K(i,j) = 0
end if
end do
end do

!! Now add transient term on both sides

b(i) = b(i) + 2
