Abstract: | This paper presents an error analysis of numerical algorithms for solving the convective continuity equation using flux-corrected transport (FCT) techniques. The nature of numerical errors in Eulerian finite-difference solutions to the continuity equation is analyzed. The properties and intrinsic errors of an “optimal” algorithm are discussed and a flux-corrected form of such an algorithm is demonstrated for a restricted class of problems. This optimal FCT algorithm is applied to a model test problem and the error is monitored for comparison with more generally applicable algorithms. Several improved FCT algorithms are developed and judged against both standard flux-uncorrected transport algorithms and the optimal algorithm. These improved FCT algorithms are found to be four to eight times more accurate than standard non-FCT algorithms, nearly twice as accurate as the original SHASTA FCT algorithm, and approach the accuracy of the optimal algorithm. |
