Fundamentals of Plasma Simulation (I) The convective difficulty associated with the Eulerian algorithm may be looked at in a simple 1D example. All fluid (MHD) equations include such a structure. For example, in density equation, υ is ρ; in momentum and pressure equations, υ is u. At first, we consider the simplest case with constant υ. The analytical solution at time t for an initial value condition f(t=0, x)=F(x) is given by the transport of initial profile, Now we will take numerical approximation. The simplest way is direct discretization by using FTCS scheme Stability analysis shows that
