Lagrangian Scheme for Scalar Advection-Diffusion. Application to Pollutant Transport

摘要

A Lagrangian scheme devoted to the approximation of advection term in advection-diffusion equation (ADE) is proposed to deal with large values of Peclet number. Advection and diffusion of circular concentration in a vortex flow are considered for validation purpose. The Lagrangian scheme reduces the numerical diffusion to almost computer error and provides better results than other Eulerian classical schemes of the literature. The injection of a pollutant in a cavity is finally illustrated.
