Abstract:
We present and analyze the modified method of characteristics (MMOC) and the modified method of characteristics with adjusted advection (MMOCAA) for the finite volume element (FVE) method of convection-diffusion problems. These two schemes maintain the advantages of both the MMOC and the FVE method. And the MMOCAA scheme discussed herein conserves the conservation law globally at a minor additional computational cost. Optimal-order error estimates in the H1-norm are proved for these schemes. A numerical example is presented to confirm the estimates.
