CO2 Runge Kutta Method

The document discusses the Runge-Kutta method, a numerical analysis technique used to solve ordinary differential equations (ODEs). It was developed in 1900 by German mathematicians Carl Runge and Martin Kutta. The Runge-Kutta method is a fourth-order approximation that provides a better solution than Euler's method. It uses initial conditions and recurrence formulas involving slope calculations to iteratively solve for values of the dependent variable at increasing values of the independent variable. Two examples demonstrating the use of the Runge-Kutta method to solve ODEs are included.

Runge- Kutta Method

In our career we encountered Partial


Differential Equations (PDEs) and Ordinary
Differential Equations (ODEs) because it plays
important role in designing and modeling problems
of engineering.
Basic approach is to use analytic methods to
solve an ODE or PDE, but there are cases which
these analytic solutions won’t be enough or so
difficult that other approaches are needed. A
powerful tool for the solution of an ordinary
differential equation is the Runge-Kutta Method.
Carl David Tolmé Runge (1856- Martin Wilhelm Kutta
1927) (1867-1944)

This method was developed around 1900 by the


German mathematicians Carl David Tolmé Runge and
Martin Wilhelm Kutta. Theoreticallly, there are infinitely
many fourth-order methods using four function values per
step. The method of Algorithm in Runge-Kutta is the most
popular from a practical viewpoint because of its
“symmetrical” form and its simple coefficients. It was given
by Kutta himself. (Zeitschr, 1990)
The classical Runge- Kutta method is a
fourth-order approximation. A method used to
solve ordinary differential equation (ODE) that uses
better approximation than the Euler’s method. This
method provides an approximate solution with
known initial conditions.

Initial conditions: at x= x0 , y= y0
Recurrence formula: xn+1 = xn + h (Eq. 1)
yn+1 = yn + Φh

1
where: Φ= (k1 + 2k2 + 2k3 + k4) Average slope
6
h= step size

Therefore:
1
yn+1 = yn + (k1 + 2k2 + 2k3 + k4) h (Eq. 2)
6
where:
k1 = f (xn, yn) (Eq. 3)
1 1
k2 = f (xn + h , yn + h k1) (Eq. 4)
2 2
1 1
k3 = f (xn + ,h yn + h k2) (Eq. 5)
2 2
k4 = f (xn +h , yn +h k3) (Eq. 6)
Example 1. (to be solved in the board)

Calculate the given differential equation using the


Runge- Kutta method.

𝑑𝑦
= 3x2 y
𝑑𝑥

where: x0 =1, y0 = 2 and h = 0.1

Find y1 and x1.


Example 2. (to be solved in the board)

Using Runge-Kutta Method, find the numerical


solution of the initial value problem described as
𝑑𝑦 𝑦+𝑥
= y(0)=1 and taking
𝑑𝑥 𝑦−𝑥
h=0.2, assuming x0=0.
