Chebyshev Wavelet Method for Numerical Solutions of Coupled Burgers’ Equation

Abstract

This paper deals with the numerical solutions of one dimensional time dependent coupled Burgers’ equation with suitable initial and boundary conditions by using Chebyshev wavelets in collaboration with a collocation method. The proposed method converts coupledBurgers’equationsintosystemofalgebraicequationsbyaidoftheChebyshevwavelets andtheirintegralswhichcanbesolvedeasilywithasolver. Benchmarkingoftheproposed method with exact solution and other known methods already exist in the literature is made by three test problems. The feasibility of the proposed method is demonstrated by test problems and indicates that the proposed method gives accurate results in short cpu times. Computer simulations show that the proposed method is computationally cheap, fast and quite good even in the case of less number of collocation points.
