โฆ Synopsis
Heat transport at the microscale is of vital importance in microtechnology applications. In this study, we develop a finite difference scheme of the Crank-Nicholson type by introducing an intermediate function for the heat transport equation at the microscale. It is shown by the discrete energy method that the scheme is unconditionally stable. Numerical results show that the solution is accurate.

Solute transport in the subsurface is generally described quantitatively with the convection-dispersion transport equation. Accurate numerical solutions of this equation are important to ensure physically realistic predictions of contaminant transport in a variety of applications. An accurate third-
The RLW equation is solved by a least-squares technique using linear space-time finite elements. In simulations of the migration of a single solitary wave this algorithm is shown to have higher accuracy and better conservation than a recent difference scheme based on cubic spline interpolation funct
In this article, we combine finite difference approximations (for spatial derivatives) and collocation techniques (for the time component) to numerically solve the two-dimensional heat equation. We employ, respectively, second-order and fourth-order schemes for the spatial derivatives, and the discr
A positivity condition is used to obtain functional relations between the time and space step-sizes for nonstandard finite-difference models of the Fisher partial differential equation. An upper bound is also derived for the solutions to the difference equations.
