Efficient Spectral Methods for PDEs in Three-Dimensional Curved Geometries
摘要
In this paper, we introduce a new spherical coordinate transformation, which transforms three-dimensional curved geometries into a unit sphere. This transformation plays an important role in spectral approximations of differential equations in three-dimensional curved geometries. Some basic properties of the spherical coordinate transformation are given. As examples, we consider an elliptic equation in three-dimensional curved geometries, prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution, construct the Fourier-Legendre spectral-Galerkin scheme and analyze the optimal convergence of numerical solutions under
