Abstract:In this study, convection-diffusion equation is solved numerically using four different space discretization methods namely first-order upwinding, second-order central difference, cubic (partially upwinded) and cubic-TVD (Total Variation Diminishing) techniques. All methods are compared with the analytical solution. The first-order method is not close to the analytical solution due to the numerical dispersion. The higher-order techniques reduce numerical dispersion. However, they cause another numerical error,… Show more
