Abstract
In this paper, we propose an efficient fourth-order compact finite difference scheme with low numerical dispersion to solve the two-dimensional acoustic wave equation. Combined with the alternating direction implicit (ADI) technique and Padé approximation, the standard second-order finite difference scheme can be improved to fourth-order and solved as a sequence of one-dimensional problems with high computational efficiency. However such compact higher-order methods suffer from high numerical dispersion. To suppress numerical dispersion, the compact and non-compact stages are interlinked to produce a hybrid scheme, in which the compact stage is based on Padé approximation in both y and temporal dimensions while the non-compact stage is based on Padé approximation in y dimension only. Stability analysis shows that the new scheme is conditionally stable and superior to some existing methods in terms of the Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy (CFL) condition. The dispersion analysis shows that the new scheme has lower numerical dispersion in comparison to the existing compact ADI scheme and the higher-order locally one-dimensional (LOD) scheme. Three numerical examples are solved to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the new method.
