Semi-Lagrangian Method: Finite Time
Time:
Time Steps:
Time Steps:
Assume that the domain is from $$x=0$$ to $$x=3$$ and that the wave starts at $$t=0$$ and ends at $$t=T$$.
Choose the wave speed $$c$$, step size $$\Delta x$$, and the CFL number $$\geq1$$.
Note the large calculated step time $$\Delta t$$ and the number of time steps which should be a multiple of 10, or no more than 10.
