Codice 42/2011 Titolo Numerical performance of discontinuous and stabilized continuous Galerkin methods or convection-diffusion problems Data 2011-11-27 Autore/i Antonietti, P.F.; Quarteroni, A. Link Download full text Abstract We compare the performance of two classes of numerical methods for the approximation of linear steady-state convection-diffusion equations, namely, the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method and the continuous streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) method. We present a fair comparison of such schemes considering both diffusion--dominated and convection-dominated regimes, and present numerical results obtained on a series of test problems including smooth solutions, and test cases with sharp internal and boundary layers.
