This research aims to enhance numerical methods for mixed-type equations like the KdV-Burgers equation.
Developed a geometric covering method based on nonlocal symmetries,
Implemented sixth-order compact finite differences and fourth-order Runge-Kutta time integration,
Conducted numerical experiments on sinusoidal waves and soliton interactions.
The covering method reduced numerical dissipation by 50% and phase error by 90% compared to a standard second-order scheme.
Mass and momentum conservation achieved to machine precision (below 10−14).
Soliton amplitudes preserved to within 0.3% post-collision with only 15% computational overhead.
