โฆ Synopsis
We propose a finite-difference algorithm for solving the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) equation coupled to the appropriate Maxwell equation. The time derivatives are discretized using a second-order semi-implicit scheme which, for intermediate values of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter , allows time steps two orders of magnitude larger than commonly used in explicit schemes. We demonstrate the use of the method by solving a fully three-dimensional problem of a current-carrying wire with longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields.

In this paper a semi-implicit finite difference model for non-hydrostatic, free-surface flows is analyzed and discussed. It is shown that the present algorithm is generally more accurate than recently developed models for quasi-hydrostatic flows. The governing equations are the free-surface Navier -
