Pseudospectral calculations on 2-D turbulence and nonlinear waves
Abstract
An introduction to the pseudospectral or Fourier method for hyperbolic partial differential equations is presented, by employing computer generated graphics. The application of the computer method is applied to nonlinear wave equations. Attention is given to time differencing, convection of a cone in two dimensions and two-dimensional turbulence.
