Wave propagation and reflection in irregular grids for hyperbolic equations (Q579899)

The results of numerical experiments with the numerical solution of several equations of mathematical physics having wave like solutions are discussed. The numerical methods use irregular (nonuniform) grids. The one-dimensional case is considered. Numerical results show that some irregular grids can be used to simulate some important physical phenomena (like wave packet propagation, asymptotic distribution of energy, wave reflection etc.). Some practical hints are given. The paper discusses the qualitative aspects of the solution only; neither the estimations of the error of the solution nor the programs are given. The paper gives the outputs of numerical experiments in graphical form.
