FAST — A GENERALIZED FV SOLUTION OF CONVECTION‐DIFFUSION PROBLEMS BY MEANS OF MONOTONIC v‐SPLINES PROFILES

Abstract

In this paper new cubic v‐splines monotonic one‐dimensional profiles are presented, for the finite volume solution of convection‐diffusion problems. By studying the profile in normalized variables, some weight functions have been determined for the profile. Being free of the requirement that the volumes be equal, the volume size can be reduced where needed. Numerical properties of the proposed method were formally analysed and are confirmed by numerical examples included here.
