To improve the matching of numerical accuracy between time and space for Burgers equation
a time-space coupled spectral element method is proposed to solve one-dimensional Burgers equation. The equation is discretized with the spectral element method in both time and space directions
and detailed derivation is displayed. Additionally
the numerical accuracy and the matching characteristic of time and space of the proposed method are compared with those of three other schemes in which spectral element discretization is adopted in space direction while the backward Euler method
the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method and the fourth-order Adams-Bashforth method are employed
respectively
in time direction. The influences of the numbers of elements and interpolation nodes on the numerical accuracy in time direction are investigated. It is verified that: 1)higher accuracy can be obtained with the proposed time-space coupled spectral element method compared with conventional temporal difference schemes in time direction; the numerical accuracy is continuously promoted with the increasing interpolation order
and the exponential convergence rate is still maintained
which shows a better characteristic of matching between time and space; and 3)increasing the elements or interpolation nodes in time direction with fixed space meshing has slight effect on improvement of the numerical accuracy
which coincides with the related research in literature.
