Introduction

The 1-D wave propagation problem is used as a test case for studying the dissipation and dispersion errors in a given finite difference scheme.There are a number of schemes which can be used to solve the problem. The usage of a higher order compact stencil with a low storage 4th order Runga Kutta scheme to solve the current problem is discussed.

Compact scheme

Runga Kutta

Consider

 \frac {\partial U}{\partial t}=H

The low storage scheme is implemented as follows

 U^{M+1}=U^M+b^Mdtf^M
 f^M=a^Mf^{M-1}+H
where M refers to the stages ,dt is the time step and the coefficients a and b are given by
a[5]={0,-0.41789047,-1.19215169,-1.69778469,-1.51418344}
b[5]={0.149665602,0.37921031,0.82295502,0.69945045,0.15305724}
