Abstract:

Allen and Liu (1995) introduced a new method for a time-dependent convec-tion dominated diffusion problem, which combines the modified method of characteristics and method of streamline diffusion. But they ignored the fact that the accuracy of time discretization decays at half an order when the characteristic line goes out of the domain. In present paper, the author shows that, as a remedy, a simple lumped scheme yields a full
accuracy approximation. Forthermore, some local error bounds independent of the small viscosity are derived for this scheme outside the boundary layers.

Key words: Convection dominated, method of characteristics, streamline diffusion, local error estimates
