An efficient characteristic Galerkin scheme for the advection equation in 3-D
نویسنده
چکیده
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. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Galerkin Method for the Numerical Solution of the Advection-Diffusion Equation by Using Exponential B-splines
In this paper, the exponential B-spline functions are used for the numerical solution of the advection-diffusion equation. Two numerical examples related to pure advection in a finitely long channel and the distribution of an initial Gaussian pulse are employed to illustrate the accuracy and the efficiency of the method. Obtained results are compared with some early studies.
متن کاملA characteristic/finite element algorithm for time-dependent 3-D advection-dominated transport using unstructured grids
An algorithm based on operator splitting has been successfully implemented for solving unsteady, advectiondominated transport problems in 3-D. Specifically, the general operator-integration-factor splitting method of Maday et al. is applied to the unsteady advection–diffusion equation with source/sink terms. The algorithm incorporates a 3-D characteristic Galerkin scheme to treat advection, and...

The cable equation is one the most fundamental mathematical models in the neuroscience, which describes the electro-diffusion of ions in denderits. New findings indicate that the standard cable equation is inadequate for describing the process of electro-diffusion of ions. So, recently, the cable model has been modified based on the theory of fractional calculus. In this paper, the two dimensio...
