The purpose of this paper is to propose an efficient space-time operator-splitting method for the high-dimensional vector-valued Allen–Cahn (AC) equations. The key of the space-time operator-splitting is to devide the complex partial differential equations into simple heat equations and nolinear ordinary differential equations.

Each component of high-dimensional heat equations is split into a series of one-dimensional heat equations in different spatial directions. The nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved by a stabilized semi-implicit scheme to preserve the upper bound of the solution. The algorithm greatly reduces the computational complexity and storage requirement.

The theoretical analyses of stability in terms of upper bound preservation and mass conservation are shown. The numerical results of phase separation, evolution of the total free energy and total mass conservation show the effectiveness and accuracy of the space-time operator-splitting method.

Extensive 2D/3D numerical tests demonstrated the efficacy and accuracy of the proposed method.

The space-time operator-splitting method reduces the complexity of the problem and reduces the storage space by turning the high-dimensional problem into a series of 1D problems. We give the theoretical analyses of upper bound preservation and mass conservation for the proposed method.

The purpose of this paper is to present some numerical methods based on different time stepping and space discretization methods for the Allen‐Cahn equation with non‐periodic boundary conditions.

In space the equation is discretized by the Chebyshev spectral method, while in time the exponential time differencing fourth‐order Runge‐Kutta (ETDRK4) and implicit‐explicit scheme are used. Also, for comparison the finite difference scheme in both space and time is used.

It is found that the use of implicit‐explicit scheme allows use of a large time‐step, since an explicit method has less order of accuracy as compared to implicit‐explicit method. In time‐stepping the proposed ETDRK4 does not behave well for this special kind of partial differential equation.

This paper aims to consider numerical simulation for radionuclide transport calculations in geological radioactive waste repository.

The nonlinear two-point flux approximation is used to discretize the diffusion flux and has a fixed stencil. The cell-vertex unknowns are applied to define the auxiliary unknowns and can be interpolated by the cell-centered unknowns. The approximation of convection flux is based on the second-order upwind method with a slope limiter.

Numerical results illustrate that the positivity-preserving is satisfied in solving this convection-diffusion system and has a second-order convergence rate on the distorted meshes.

A new positivity-preserving nonlinear finite volume scheme is proposed to simulate the far-field model used in the geological radioactive waste repository. Numerical results illustrate that the positivity-preserving is satisfied in solving this convection-diffusion system and has a second-order convergence rate on the distorted meshes.
