3Runge Kutta Stability Doma<strong>in</strong>21Im z0−1−2−3−2.5 −2 −1.5 −1 −0.5 0Re zFig. 6. Stability region of the classical Runge-Kutta scheme. The approximation bya semi-ellipse (77) is shown <strong>in</strong> blue.Thus,ū i ≡ h −D ∫V iu(x(ξ))dξ = ( [−1 ¯J) (uJ)i i− h212 ∇ ξu · ∇ ξ J + O ( h 4)] . (70)We require at least second-order approximations of the gradients and choosethe central differences⎡(∇ ξ u) d i= 1 ⎣ (uJ) i+e d2h ¯J i+e d− (uJ) i−e d¯J i−e d⎤⎦ + O ( h 2) (71)<strong>in</strong> each direction d. This choice is freestream preserv<strong>in</strong>g; the difference evaluatesto zero (with<strong>in</strong> roundoff) provided that the averages are <strong>in</strong>itialized suchthat, for constant u, uJ i ≡ u ¯J i .4.2 Time DiscretizationAs <strong>in</strong> [7], we discretize the semi-discrete system of ord<strong>in</strong>ary differential equations(61) us<strong>in</strong>g the explicit, four-stage, fourth-order classical Runge-Kuttascheme [17].
