Energy Conserving Explicit Local Time-Stepping for Second-Order Wave Equations
Julien Diaz 1, Marcus J. Grote 2
(2007)

Locally refined meshes impose severe stability constraints on explicit time-stepping methods for the numerical simulation of time dependent wave phenomena. To overcome that stability restriction, local time-stepping methods are developed, which allow arbitrarily small time-steps precisely where small elements in the mesh are located. When combined with a symmetric finite element discretization in space with an essentially diagonal mass matrix, the resulting discrete numerical scheme is explicit, inherently parallel, and exactly conserves a discrete energy. Starting from the standard second-order ``leap-frog'' scheme, time-stepping methods of arbitrary order of accuracy are derived. Numerical experiments illustrate the efficiency and usefulness of these methods and validate the theory.
