✦ Synopsis

Conventional Galerkin-based finite element algorithms perform poorly when modeling advective transport. Here we develop and test a characteristic Galerkin scheme to solve the unsteady three-dimensional advective transport equation. The algorithm uses tracking of the Gaussian quadrature points to project the information from the Eulerian background grid to the Lagrangian grid. Numerical experiments were carried out to investigate the performance of this scheme. Despite speculations to the contrary in the literature, this scheme does not suffer from instability problems. Further, it is conservative, and shows good phase characteristics with slight numerical diffusion. We conclude that the characteristic Galerkin method is a viable and efficient scheme for solving advection problems in three dimensions.

This paper demonstrates the use of shape-preserving exponential spline interpolation in a characteristic based numerical scheme for the solution of the linear advective -diffusion equation. The results from this scheme are compared with results from a number of numerical schemes in current use using

A few years ago, Costabel and Dauge proposed a variational setting, which allows one to solve numerically the timeharmonic Maxwell equations in 3D geometries with the help of a continuous approximation of the electromagnetic field. In this paper, we investigate how their framework can be adapted to

In this paper, we introduce a box-scheme for time-dependent convection-diffusion equations, following principles previously introduced by Courbet in [Rech. A erospatiale 4 (1990) 21] for hyperbolic problems. This scheme belongs to the category of mixed finite-volume schemes. This means that it works
