A multi-dimensional monotonic finite element model for solving the convection-diffusion-reaction equation. (English) Zbl 1014.76040

Summary: We develop a finite element model for solving convection-diffusion-reaction equation in two dimensions with the aim to enhance the scheme stability without compromising consistency. Reducing errors of false diffusion type is achieved by adding an artificial term to get rid of three leading mixed derivative terms in Petrov-Galerkin formulation. The finite element model of Petrov-Galerkin type, while maintaining convective stability, is modified to suppress oscillations about the sharp layer by employing the \(M\)-matrix theory. To validate this monotonic model, we consider test problems which are amenable to analytic solutions. Good agreement is obtained in both one- and two-dimensional problems, thus validating the method. Other problems suitable for benchmarking the proposed model are also investigated.
