C. Clavero et al., A FRACTIONAL STEP METHOD ON A SPECIAL MESH FOR THE RESOLUTION OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL EVOLUTIONARY CONVECTION-DIFFUSION PROBLEMS, Applied numerical mathematics, 27(3), 1998, pp. 211-231
In this paper we consider numerical schemes for multidimensional evolu
tionary convection-diffusion problems, where the approximation propert
ies are uniform in the diffusion parameter. In order to obtain an effi
cient method, to provide good approximations with independence of the
size of the diffusion parameter, we have developed a numerical method
which combines a finite difference spatial discretization on a special
mesh and a fractional step method for the time variable. The special
mesh allows a correct approximation of the solution in the boundary la
yers, while the fractional steps permits a law computational cost algo
rithm. Some numerical examples confirming the expected behavior of the
method are shown, (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. and IMACS. All right
