Description
Summary:In this paper, we propose a 7th order weakly <i>L</i>-stable time integration scheme. In the process of derivation of the scheme, we use explicit backward Taylor’s polynomial approximation of sixth-order and Hermite interpolation polynomial approximation of fifth order. We apply this formula in the vector form in order to solve Burger’s equation, which is a simplified form of Navier-Stokes equation. The literature survey reveals that several methods fail to capture the solutions in the presence of inconsistency and for small values of viscosity, e.g., <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><msup><mn>10</mn><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>3</mn></mrow></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula>, whereas the present scheme produces highly accurate results. To check the effectiveness of the scheme, we examine it over six test problems and generate several tables and figures. All of the calculations are executed with the help of Mathematica 11.3. The stability and convergence of the scheme are also discussed.
