Solves tricky math problems for science and engineering.
To numerically solve the two-dimensional advection equation, we propose a family of fourth- and higher-order semi-Lagrangian finite volume (SLFV) methods that feature (1) fourth-, sixth-, and eighth-order convergence rates, (2) applicability to both regular and irregular domains with arbitrarily complex topology and geometry, (3) ease of handling both zero and nonzero source terms, and (4) the same algorithmic steps for both periodic and incoming penetration conditions. Test results confirm the analysis and demonstrate the accuracy, flexibility, robustness, and excellent conditioning of the proposed SLFV method.
