Abstract
In this paper, we innovatively develop uniform/variable-time-step weighted and shifted BDF2 (WSBDF2) methods for the anisotropic Cahn–Hilliard (CH) model, combining the scalar auxiliary variable approach with two types of stabilized techniques. Using the concept of stability, the uniform-time-step WSBDF2 method is theoretically proved to be energy-stable. Due to the inapplicability of the relevant G-stability properties, another technique is adopted in this work to demonstrate the energy stability of the variable-time-step WSBDF2 method. In addition, the two numerical schemes are all mass-conservative. Finally, numerous numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the stability and accuracy of these schemes.
本文结合标量辅助变量方法和两种稳定技术,创新性地开发了各向异性卡恩-希利亚德(Cahn-Hilliard,CH)模型的均匀/变时步长加权和移位 BDF2(WSBDF2)方法。利用 G 稳定性概念,从理论上证明了均匀时间步长 WSBDF2 方法是能量稳定的。由于相关的 G 稳定性不适用,本研究采用了另一种技术来证明变时步长 WSBDF2 方法的能量稳定性。此外,两种数值方案都是质量守恒的。最后,大量的数值模拟证明了这些方案的稳定性和准确性。
