An Operator Splitting Method for Convection-Diffusion Equations
Kenneth Hvistendahl Karlsen and Nils Henrik Risebro
Abstract:
We present a semi-discrete method for constructing
approximate solutions to the $m$-dimensional $(m\ge 1)$ convection-diffusion
equation $u_{t}+\nabla\cdot \bF(u) =\eps\Delta u$.
The method is based on the use of operator splitting to isolate the
convection part and the diffusion part of the equation. In the case $m>1$,
dimensional splitting is used to reduce the $m$-dimensional
convection problem to a series of one-dimensional problems.
We show that the method produces a
compact sequence of approximate solutions. Finally, a fully discrete
method is analyzed, and demonstrated in the case of one and two space
dimensions.
