%0 Journal Article %T A Multilevel Finite Difference Scheme for One-Dimensional Burgers Equation Derived from the Lattice Boltzmann Method %A Qiaojie Li %A Zhoushun Zheng %A Shuang Wang %A Jiankang Liu %J Journal of Applied Mathematics %D 2012 %I Hindawi Publishing Corporation %R 10.1155/2012/925920 %X An explicit finite difference scheme for one-dimensional Burgers equation is derived from the lattice Boltzmann method. The system of the lattice Boltzmann equations for the distribution of the fictitious particles is rewritten as a three-level finite difference equation. The scheme is monotonic and satisfies maximum value principle; therefore, the stability is proved. Numerical solutions have been compared with the exact solutions reported in previous studies. The 2, ¡Þ and Root-Mean-Square (RMS) errors in the solutions show that the scheme is accurate and effective. %U http://www.hindawi.com/journals/jam/2012/925920/
