Sr. Idelsohn et al., PETROV-GALERKIN METHODS FOR THE TRANSIENT ADVECTIVE-DIFFUSIVE EQUATION WITH SHARP GRADIENTS, International journal for numerical methods in engineering, 39(9), 1996, pp. 1455-1473
A Petrov-Galerkin formulation based on two different perturbations to
the weighting functions is presented. These perturbations stabilize th
e oscillations that are normally exhibited by the numerical solution o
f the transient advective-diffusive equation in the vicinity of sharp
gradients produced by transient loads and boundary layers. The formula
tion may be written as a generalization of the Galerkin Least-Square m
ethod.
