A NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE STEADY SCALAR CONVECTIVE DIFFUSION EQUATION FOR SMALL VISCOSITY

The equation ν{down triangle, open}2u = fx(u) + gy(u) is studied by means of a compact finite difference scheme and numerical solutions are compared to the analytic inviscid (v = 0) solutions. The correct internal and external boundary layer behaviour is observed, due to an inherent feature of the s...
