Abstract: This paper studies the numerical solution of traveling singular sources problems. In such problems, a big challenge is the sources move with different speeds, which are described by some ordinary differential equations. A predictor-corrector algorithm is presented to simulate the position of singular sources. Then a moving mesh method in conjunction with domain decomposition is derived for the underlying PDE. According to the positions of the sources, the whole domain is splitted into several subdomains, where moving mesh equations are solved respectively. On the resulting mesh, the computation of jump [dotu] is avoided and the discretization of the underlying PDE is reduced into only two cases. In addition, the new method has a desired second-order of the spatial convergence. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the convergence rates and the efficiency of the method. Blow-up phenomenon is also investigated for various motions of the sources.


Summary: This paper is concerned about the efficiently numerical simulation of heat conduction problems with multiple heat sources that are allowed to move with different speeds. Based on the dynamical domain decomposition upon the trajectories of moving sources, which are solved by a predictor-corrector algorithm, a non-overlapping domain-decomposed moving mesh method is developed. Such a method can not only generate the adaptive mesh efficiently by parallel computing, but also greatly simplify the discretization of the underlying equations without loss of accuracy. Numerical examples for various motions of sources are presented to illustrate the accuracy, the convergence rate and the efficiency of the proposed method. The dependence of the solution on the moving sources such as the types of motion and the distance between sources is numerically investigated. A blow-up phenomenon that occurs at multiple locations simultaneously can also be well observed for the case of symmetrically moving sources.
