Runge-Kutta integration methods

A except for the additional programming that is required to evaluate the agreement between calculatd and observed group concentrations (expressed by CHISQ). The METHOD statement selected a fixed step Runge-Kutta integration method rather than a variable step method because a fixed integration method is necessary for the CHISQ PROCEDURE to work properly. 

Do the same with Euler s and the fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration methods. 

The IE and IM methods described above turn out to be quite special in that IE s damping is extreme and IM s resonance patterns are quite severe relative to related symplectic methods. However, success was not much greater with a symplectic implicit Runge-Kutta integrator examined by Janezic and coworkers [40],... 

More than two points can be used in the Runge-Kutta method, and the fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration is commonly employed. Obviously computers are... 

The next example treats isothermal and adiabatic PFRs. Newton s method is used to determine the throughput, and Runge-Kutta integration is used in the Reactor subroutine. (The analytical solution could have been used for the isothermal case as it was for the CSTR.) The optimization technique remains the random one. 

The integration, between YA = Y. and YA = Y, can be carried out by the Runge-Kutta-Merson method. For gooa accuracy, the intervals have to be very small. For this calculation, the correct values of ky-k% must be known. If periodic deviations are obtained between the experimental (from the FCCU) yields and the yields predicted by this model, a corrective factor in these k values can be introduced. 

This method often requires very small integration step sizes to obtain a desired level of accuracy. Runge-Kutta integration has a higher level of accuracy than Euler. It is also an explicit integration technique, since the state values at the next time step are only a function of the previous time step. Implicit methods have state variable values that are a function of both the beginning and end of the current... 

For the simulation of the reactor behaviour the system of ordinary differential equations was integrated by means of a Runge-Kutta-Merson method with variable step length, whereas the nonlinear algebraic equations were solved by a Newton-Raphson iteration. 

After casting the equations in dimensionless form, they were solved by an Euler s method integration on the University of Minnesota Cyber 7000 computer system. The accuracy of this method was checked by a fourth order Runge-Kutta integration, which gave agreement to within 0.5%. 

Equation (6.120) is more suited for numerical than analytical integration, using the Runge-Kutta 4th method. However, Equation (6.120) can be rearranged as ... 

The steady-state heat and mass balance equations of the different models were numerically integrated using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta-Gill method for the one-dimensional models, while the Crank-Nicholson finite differences method was used to solve the two-dimensional models. 

Various integration methods were tested on the dynamic model equations. They included an implicit iterative multistep method, an implicit Euler/modified Euler method, an implicit midpoint averaging method, and a modified divided difference form of the variable-order/variable-step Adams PECE formulas with local extrapolation. However, the best integrator for our system of equations turned out to be the variable-step fifth-order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. This explicit method was used for all of the calculations presented here. 

The method of characteristics, the distance method of lines (continuous-time discrete-space), and the time method of lines (continuous-space discrete-time) were used to solve the solids stream partial differential equations. Numerical stiffness was not considered a problem for the method of characteristics and time method of lines calculations. For the distance method of lines, a possible numerical stiffness problem was solved by using a simple sifting procedure. A variable-step fifth-order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method was used to integrate the differential equations for both the solids and the gas streams. 

In ref 171 new Runge-Kutta-Nystrom methods for the numerical solution of periodic initial value problems are obtained. These methods are able to integrate exactly the harmonic oscillator. In this paper the analysis of the production of an embedded 5(3) RKN pair with four stages is presented. 

In ref 174 a new embedded pair of explicit exponentially fitted Runge-Kutta-Nystrom methods is developed. The methods integrate exactly any linear combinations of the functions from the set (exp(/iO,exp(—/it) (ji e ifl or /i e i9I). The new methods have the following characteristics ...

In this flow chart is the end-point of integration, is the start-point of integration and NSTEP is the number of steps. The computation of qh zu i = 1(1)3 is based on the Runge-Kutta-Nystrom method of Dormand and Prince 8(7) (see 9-10). 

In 27 the authors have developed trigonometrically-fitted Runge-Kutta method for the numerical integration of orbital problems. The developed method is based on the Runge-Kutta Zonneveld method. More specifically is based on a modification of the Butcher table for the Runge-Kutta methods showed below ... 

EROS handles concurrent reactions with a kinetic modeling approach, where the fastest reaction has the highest probability to occur in a mixture. The data for the kinetic model are derived from relative or sometimes absolute reaction rate constants. Rates of different reaction paths are obtained by evaluation mechanisms included in the rule base that lead to partial differential equations for the reaction rate. Three methods are available that cover the integration of the differential equations the GEAR algorithm, the Runge-Kutta method, and the Runge-Kutta-Merson method [120,121], The estimation of a reaction rate is not always possible. In this case, probabilities for the different reaction pathways are calculated based on probabilities for individual reaction steps. 

By simply knowing the phase equilibrium behavior and the composition within the beaker at the start of the experiment (x ), one can easily construct a residue curve by integrating Equation 2.8. Such integration is usually performed with the use of a numerical integration method (see later, Section 2.5.3), such as Runge Kutta type methods, remembering that at each function evaluation, a bubble point calculation must be performed in order to determine y(x). 

As mentioned previously, numerical integration of the residue curve equation can be done with Runge Kutta type methods. Formnately, mathematical software packages...
