Description
Summary:A high-order compact difference scheme for solving the two-dimensional (2D) elliptic problems is proposed by including compact approximations to the leading truncation error terms of the central difference scheme. A multigrid method is employed to overcome the difficulties caused by conventional iterative methods when they are used to solve the linear algebraic system arising from the high-order compact scheme. Numerical experiments are conducted to test the accuracy and efficiency of the present method. The computed results indicate that the present scheme achieves the fourth-order accuracy and the effect of the multigrid method for accelerating the convergence speed is significant.
