A Software Solution for Nonlinear Advection Equation based on Finite Differences Methods


Abstract in English

In this paper, we present approximate solutions for the Advection equation by finite differences method. In this method we convert the nonlinear partial differential equation into a system of nonlinear equations by some finite differences methods. Then this system was solved by Newton's method. And we made a program implementing this algorithm and we checked the program using some examples, which have exact solutions, then we evaluate our results. As a conclusion we found that this method gives accurate results for Advection equation.
