β¦ Synopsis
Control advection diffusion problems are formulated via variational inequalities and effective upwind finite element approximations are studied. The method of local subdifferentials is applied to model and dualize control constraints, as well as to produce global primal and mixed variational formulations. Upwind finite element schemes are derived, satisfying the discrete maximum principle and the conservation of mass law. The numerical resolution methods used are iterative algorithms of the Uzawa type, which are formulated and analyzed. Some numerical experiments are presented for a model discrete problem.

Numerical methods for advection-diffusion equations are discussed based on approximating advection using a high-resolution upwind finite difference method, and incorporating diffusion using a mixed finite element method. In this approach, advection is approximated explicitly and diffusion implicitly
## Abstract A numerical study of several finite element approximations for the primal mixed formulation of the Darcy equations is presented. In all cases the pressure is approximated by continuous piecewiseβlinear functions. The difference between each scheme is in the choice of the finite element
In this paper the author presents an a posteriori error estimator for approximations of the solution to an advectiondiffusion equation with a non-constant, vector-valued diffusion coefficient e in a conforming finite element space. Based on the complementary variational principle, we show that the e
