X Abstract

A technique for constructing monotone, high resolution, multi-dimensional upwind fluctuation distribution schemes for the scalar advection equation is presented. The method combines the second-order Lax-Wendroff scheme with the upwind positive streamwise invariant (PSI) scheme via a fluctuation redistribution step, which ensures monotonicity (and which is a generalization of the flux-corrected transport approach for fluctuation distribution schemes). Furthermore, the concept of a distribution point is introduced, which, when related to the equivalent equation for the scheme, leads to a ?preferred direction? for the limiting procedure, and hence to a new distribution of the fluctuation, which retains second-order accuracy from the Lax-Wendroff scheme, even when the solution contains turning points. Experimental comparisons show that the new method compares favourably in terms of speed, accuracy and robustness with other, similar, techniques. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
