#+TITLE: Numerical solution of diffusion equation in 2D with ADI Scheme #+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [a4paper,10pt] #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{fullpage} #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{amsmath, systeme} #+OPTIONS: toc:nil * Diffusion in 1D ** Finite differences with nodes as cells' centres The 1D diffusion equation is: #+NAME: eqn:1 \begin{align} \frac{\partial C }{\partial t} & = \frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left(\alpha \frac{\partial C }{\partial x} \right) \nonumber \\ & = \alpha \frac{\partial^2 C}{\partial x^2} \end{align} We aim at numerically solving [[eqn:1]] on a spatial grid such as: [[./images/grid_pqc.pdf]] The left boundary is defined on $x=0$ while the center of the first cell - which are the points constituting the finite difference nodes - is in $x=dx/2$, with $dx=L/n$. ** The explicit FTCS scheme (as in PHREEQC) We start by discretizing [[eqn:1]] following an explicit Euler scheme and specifically a Forward Time, Centered Space finite difference. For each cell index $i \in 1, \dots, n-1$ and assuming constant $\alpha$, we can write: #+NAME: eqn:2 \begin{equation}\displaystyle \frac{C_i^{t+1} -C_i^{t}}{\Delta t} = \alpha\frac{\frac{C^t_{i+1}-C^t_{i}}{\Delta x}-\frac{C^t_{i}-C^t_{i-1}}{\Delta x}}{\Delta x} \end{equation} In practice, we evaluate the first derivatives of $C$ w.r.t. $x$ on the boundaries of each cell (i.e., $(C_{i+1}-C_i)/\Delta x$ on the right boundary of the i-th cell and $(C_{i}-C_{i-1})/\Delta x$ on its left cell boundary) and then repeat the differentiation to get the second derivative of $C$ on the the cell centre $i$. This discretization works for all internal cells, but not for the domain boundaries ($i=0$ and $i=n$). To properly treat them, we need to account for the discrepancy in the discretization. For the first (left) cell, whose center is at $x=dx/2$, we can evaluate the left gradient with the left boundary using such distance, calling $l$ the numerical value of a constant boundary condition: #+NAME: eqn:3 \begin{equation}\displaystyle \frac{C_0^{t+1} -C_0^{t}}{\Delta t} = \alpha\frac{\frac{C^t_{1}-C^t_{0}}{\Delta x}- \frac{C^t_{0}-l}{\frac{\Delta x}{2}}}{\Delta x} \end{equation} This expression, once developed, yields: #+NAME: eqn:4 \begin{align}\displaystyle C_0^{t+1} & = C_0^{t} + \frac{\alpha \cdot \Delta t}{\Delta x^2} \cdot \left( C^t_{1}-C^t_{0}- 2 C^t_{0}+2l \right) \nonumber \\ & = C_0^{t} + \frac{\alpha \cdot \Delta t}{\Delta x^2} \cdot \left( C^t_{1}- 3 C^t_{0} +2l \right) \end{align} In case of constant right boundary, the finite difference of point $C_n$ - calling $r$ the right boundary value - is: #+NAME: eqn:5 \begin{equation}\displaystyle \frac{C_n^{t+1} -C_n^t}{\Delta t} = \alpha\frac{\frac{r - C^t_{n}}{\frac{\Delta x}{2}}- \frac{C^t_{n}-C^t_{n-1}}{\Delta x}}{\Delta x} \end{equation} Which, developed, gives #+NAME: eqn:6 \begin{align}\displaystyle C_n^{t+1} & = C_n^{t} + \frac{\alpha \cdot \Delta t}{\Delta x^2} \cdot \left( 2 r - 2 C^t_{n} -C^t_{n} + C^t_{n-1} \right) \nonumber \\ & = C_n^{t} + \frac{\alpha \cdot \Delta t}{\Delta x^2} \cdot \left( 2 r - 3 C^t_{n} + C^t_{n-1} \right) \end{align} If on the right boundary we have closed or Neumann condition, the left derivative in eq. [[eqn:5]] becomes zero and we are left with: #+NAME: eqn:7 \begin{equation}\displaystyle C_n^{t+1} = C_n^{t} + \frac{\alpha \cdot \Delta t}{\Delta x^2} \cdot (C^t_{n-1} - C^t_n) \end{equation} A similar treatment can be applied to the BTCS implicit scheme. ** Implicit BTCS scheme First, we define the Backward Time difference: \begin{equation} \frac{\partial C^{t+1} }{\partial t} = \frac{C^{t+1}_i - C^{t}_i}{\Delta t} \end{equation} Second the spatial derivative approximation, evaluated at time level $t+1$: #+NAME: eqn:secondderivative \begin{equation} \frac{\partial^2 C^{t+1} }{\partial x^2} = \frac{\frac{C^{t+1}_{i+1}-C^{t+1}_{i}}{\Delta x}-\frac{C^{t+1}_{i}-C^{t+1}_{i-1}}{\Delta x}}{\Delta x} \end{equation} Taking the 1D diffusion equation from [[eqn:1]] and substituting each term by the equations given above leads to the following equation: # \begin{equation}\displaystyle # \frac{C_i^{j+1} -C_i^{j}}{\Delta t} = \alpha\frac{\frac{C^{j+1}_{i+1}-C^{j+1}_{i}}{\Delta x}-\frac{C^{j+1}_{i}-C^{j+1}_{i-1}}{\Delta x}}{\Delta x} # \end{equation} # Since we are not able to solve this system w.r.t unknown values in $C^{j-1}$ we # are shifting each j by 1 to $j \to (j+1)$ and $(j-1) \to j$ which leads to: #+NAME: eqn:1DBTCS \begin{align}\displaystyle \frac{C_i^{t+1} - C_i^{t}}{\Delta t} & = \alpha\frac{\frac{C^{t+1}_{i+1}-C^{t+1}_{i}}{\Delta x}-\frac{C^{t+1}_{i}-C^{t+1}_{i-1}}{\Delta x}}{\Delta x} \nonumber \\ & = \alpha\frac{C^{t+1}_{i-1} - 2C^{t+1}_{i} + C^{t+1}_{i+1}}{\Delta x^2} \end{align} This only applies to inlet cells with no ghost node as neighbor. For the left cell with its center at $\frac{dx}{2}$ and the constant concentration on the left ghost node called $l$ the equation goes as followed: \begin{equation}\displaystyle \frac{C_0^{t+1} -C_0^{t}}{\Delta t} = \alpha\frac{\frac{C^{t+1}_{1}-C^{t+1}_{0}}{\Delta x}- \frac{C^{t+1}_{0}-l}{\frac{\Delta x}{2}}}{\Delta x} \end{equation} This expression, once developed, yields: \begin{align}\displaystyle C_0^{t+1} & = C_0^{t} + \frac{\alpha \cdot \Delta t}{\Delta x^2} \cdot \left( C^{t+1}_{1}-C^{t+1}_{0}- 2 C^{t+1}_{0}+2l \right) \nonumber \\ & = C_0^{t} + \frac{\alpha \cdot \Delta t}{\Delta x^2} \cdot \left( C^{t+1}_{1}- 3 C^{t+1}_{0} +2l \right) \end{align} Now we define variable $s_x$ as followed: \begin{equation} s_x = \frac{\alpha \cdot \Delta t}{\Delta x^2} \end{equation} Substituting with the new variable $s_x$ and reordering of terms leads to the equation applicable to our model: \begin{equation}\displaystyle -C^t_0 = (2s_x) \cdot l + (-1 - 3s_x) \cdot C^{t+1}_0 + s_x \cdot C^{t+1}_1 \end{equation} The right boundary follows the same scheme. We now want to show the equation for the rightmost inlet cell $C_n$ with right boundary value $r$: \begin{equation}\displaystyle \frac{C_n^{t+1} -C_n^{t}}{\Delta t} = \alpha\frac{\frac{r-C^{t+1}_{n}}{\frac{\Delta x}{2}}- \frac{C^{t+1}_{n}-C^{t+1}_{n-1}}{\Delta x}}{\Delta x} \end{equation} This expression, once developed, yields: \begin{align}\displaystyle C_n^{t+1} & = C_n^{t} + \frac{\alpha \cdot \Delta t}{\Delta x^2} \cdot \left( 2r - 2C^{t+1}_{n} - C^{t+1}_{n} + C^{t+1}_{n-1} \right) \nonumber \\ & = C_0^{t} + \frac{\alpha \cdot \Delta t}{\Delta x^2} \cdot \left( 2r - 3C^{t+1}_{n} + C^{t+1}_{n-1} \right) \end{align} Now rearrange terms and substituting with $s_x$ leads to: \begin{equation}\displaystyle -C^t_n = s_x \cdot C^{t+1}_{n-1} + (-1 - 3s_x) \cdot C^{t+1}_n + (2s_x) \cdot r \end{equation} *TODO* - Tridiagonal matrix filling #+LATEX: \clearpage * Diffusion in 2D: the Alternating Direction Implicit scheme In 2D, the diffusion equation (in absence of source terms) and assuming homogeneous but anisotropic diffusion coefficient $\alpha=(\alpha_x,\alpha_y)$ becomes: #+NAME: eqn:2d \begin{equation} \displaystyle \frac{\partial C}{\partial t} = \alpha_x \frac{\partial^2 C}{\partial x^2} + \alpha_y\frac{\partial^2 C}{\partial y^2} \end{equation} ** 2D ADI using BTCS scheme The Alternating Direction Implicit method consists in splitting the integration of eq. [[eqn:2d]] in two half-steps, each of which represents implicitly the derivatives in one direction, and explicitly in the other. Therefore we make use of second derivative operator defined in equation [[eqn:secondderivative]] in both $x$ and $y$ direction for half the time step $\Delta t$. Denoting $i$ the grid cell index along $x$ direction, $j$ the index in $y$ direction and $t$ as the time level, the spatially centered second derivatives can be written as: \begin{align}\displaystyle \frac{\partial^2 C^t_{i,j}}{\partial x^2} &= \frac{C^{t}_{i-1,j} - 2C^{t}_{i,j} + C^{t}_{i+1,j}}{\Delta x^2} \\ \frac{\partial^2 C^t_{i,j}}{\partial y^2} &= \frac{C^{t}_{i,j-1} - 2C^{t}_{i,j} + C^{t}_{i,j+1}}{\Delta y^2} \end{align} The ADI scheme is formally defined by the equations: #+NAME: eqn:genADI \begin{equation} \systeme{ \displaystyle \frac{C^{t+1/2}_{i,j}-C^t_{i,j}}{\Delta t/2} = \displaystyle \alpha_x \frac{\partial^2 C^{t+1/2}_{i,j}}{\partial x^2} + \alpha_y \frac{\partial^2 C^{t}_{i,j}}{\partial y^2}, \displaystyle \frac{C^{t+1}_{i,j}-C^{t+1/2}_{i,j}}{\Delta t/2} = \displaystyle \alpha_x \frac{\partial^2 C^{t+1/2}_{i,j}}{\partial x^2} + \alpha_y \frac{\partial^2 C^{t+1}_{i,j}}{\partial y^2} } \end{equation} \noindent The first of equations [[eqn:genADI]], which writes implicitly the spatial derivatives in $x$ direction, after bringing the $\Delta t / 2$ terms on the right hand side and substituting $s_x=\frac{\alpha_x \cdot \Delta t}{2 \Delta x^2}$ and $s_y=\frac{\alpha_y\cdot\Delta t}{2\Delta y^2}$ reads: \begin{equation}\displaystyle C^{t+1/2}_{i,j}-C^t_{i,j} = s_x (C^{t+1/2}_{i-1,j} - 2C^{t+1/2}_{i,j} + C^{t+1/2}_{i+1,j}) + s_y (C^{t}_{i,j-1} - 2C^{t}_{i,j} + C^{t}_{i,j+1}) \end{equation} \noindent Separating the known terms (at time level $t$) on the left hand side and the implicit terms (at time level $t+1/2$) on the right hand side, we get: #+NAME: eqn:sweepX \begin{equation}\displaystyle -C^t_{i,j} - s_y (C^{t}_{i,j-1} - 2C^{t}_{i,j} + C^{t}_{i,j+1}) = - C^{t+1/2}_{i,j} + s_x (C^{t+1/2}_{i-1,j} - 2C^{t+1/2}_{i,j} + C^{t+1/2}_{i+1,j}) \end{equation} \noindent Equation [[eqn:sweepX]] can be solved with a BTCS scheme since it corresponds to a tridiagonal system of equations, and resolves the $C^{t+1/2}$ at each inner grid cell. The second of equations [[eqn:genADI]] can be treated the same way and yields: #+NAME: eqn:sweepY \begin{equation}\displaystyle -C^{t + 1/2}_{i,j} - s_x (C^{t + 1/2}_{i-1,j} - 2C^{t + 1/2}_{i,j} + C^{t + 1/2}_{i+1,j}) = - C^{t+1}_{i,j} + s_y (C^{t+1}_{i,j-1} - 2C^{t+1}_{i,j} + C^{t+1}_{i,j+1}) \end{equation} This scheme only applies to inner cells, or else $\forall i,j \in [1, n-1] \times [1, n-1]$. Following an analogous treatment as for the 1D case, and noting $l_x$ and $l_y$ the constant left boundary values and $r_x$ and $r_y$ the right ones for each direction $x$ and $y$, we can modify equations [[eqn:sweepX]] for $i=0, j \in [1, n-1]$ #+NAME: eqn:boundXleft \begin{equation}\displaystyle -C^t_{0,j} - s_y (C^{t}_{0,j-1} - 2C^{t}_{0,j} + C^{t}_{0,j+1}) = - C^{t+1/2}_{0,j} + s_x (C^{t+1/2}_{1,j} - 3C^{t+1/2}_{0,j} + 2 l_x) \end{equation} \noindent Similarly for $i=n, j \in [1, n-1]$: #+NAME: eqn:boundXright \begin{equation}\displaystyle -C^t_{n,j} - s_y (C^{t}_{n,j-1} - 2C^{t}_{n,j} + C^{t}_{n,j+1}) = - C^{t+1/2}_{n,j} + s_x (C^{t+1/2}_{n-1,j} - 3C^{t+1/2}_{n,j} + 2 r_x) \end{equation} \noindent For $i=j=0$: #+NAME: eqn:bound00 \begin{equation}\displaystyle -C^t_{0,0} - s_y (C^{t}_{0,1} - 3C^{t}_{0,0} + 2l_y) = - C^{t+1/2}_{0,0} + s_x (C^{t+1/2}_{1,0} - 3C^{t+1/2}_{0,0} + 2 l_x) \end{equation} Analogous expressions are readily derived for all possible combinations of $i,j \in 0\times n$. In practice, wherever an index $i$ or $j$ is $0$ or $n$, the centered spatial derivatives in $x$ or $y$ directions must be substituted in relevant parts of the sweeping equations \textbf{in both the implicit or the explicit sides} of equations [[eqn:sweepX]] and [[eqn:sweepY]] by a term #+NAME: eqn:bound00 \begin{equation}\displaystyle s(C_{forw} - 3C + 2 bc) \end{equation} \noindent where $bc$ is the boundary condition in the given direction, $s$ is either $s_x$ or $s_y$, and $C_{forw}$ indicates the contiguous cell opposite to the boundary. Alternatively, noting the second derivative operator as $\partial_{dir}^2$, we can write in compact form: \begin{equation} \systeme{ \displaystyle \partial_x^2 C_{0,j} = 2l_x - 3C_{0,j} + C_{1,j} , \displaystyle \partial_x^2 C_{n,j} = 2r_x - 3C_{n,j} + C_{n-1,j} , \displaystyle \partial_y^2 C_{i,0} = 2l_y - 3C_{i,0} + C_{i,1} , \displaystyle \partial_y^2 C_{i,n} = 2r_y - 3C_{i,n} + C_{i,n-1} } \end{equation} #+LATEX: \clearpage
