Developing an advection scheme for Telemac-2D based on the 2nd order characteristics method, 8th Telemac User Club, Chatou, 15-16 November 2001.

One of the best method of improving the accuracy of the advection scheme based on method of characterictics is to improve the interpolation of advected variables on the feet of the traced-back characteristic curves. The results of applying the second order interpolation in broader element patches are compared with the presently applied single-element linear interpolation and the SUPG method. Continue reading
