Abstract
A new streamline method for the solution of convection-dominated transport
problems is introduced. First, an analysis is made of the nature
of classic streamline upwinding from the perspective of space and
spacetime solution domains, as they pertain to the nature of the
problems. From this analysis emerges a rigorous logic for upwinding,
which can easily be implemented in the full (spacetime) Galerkin
formulation of the transport equation. Comparative performance testing
of this technique, in solving a number of examples, proves it to
be robust and versatile. The advantage of this method resides in
its applicability to a wider range of Courant numbers.
