  • This paper is concerned with singularly perturbed convection-diffusion parabolic partial differential equations which have time-delayed. We used the Crank-Nicolson(CN) scheme to build a fitted operator to solve the problem. The underling method's stability is investigated, and it is found to be unconditionally stable. We have shown graphically the unstableness of CN-scheme without fitting factor. The order of convergence of the present method is shown to be second order both in space and time in relation to the perturbation parameter. The efficiency of the scheme is demonstrated using model examples and the proposed technique is more accurate than the standard CN-method and some methods available in the literature, according to the findings.

  • Finite element method has been developed recently for the solution of the convection-diffusion problems. Finite element method has several advantages over finite difference method, but its requirement of the larger memory size of the computer has prevented from wide application. In the present study, line-by-line technique has been implemented to finite element method to overcome this disadvantage. Two dimensional laminar natural convection in square cavity was chosen as an example in this study. The numerical result shows good agreement with bench mark solution and the size of the coefficient marix has been reduced drastically.

  • We consider a weakly coupled system of singularly perturbed convection-diffusion equations with discontinuous source term. The diffusion term of each equation is associated with a small positive parameter of different magnitude. Presence of discontinuity and different parameters creates boundary and weak interior layers that overlap and interact. A numerical method is constructed for this problem which involves an appropriate piecewise uniform Shishkin mesh. The numerical approximations are proved to converge to the continuous solutions uniformly with respect to the singular perturbation parameters. Numerical results are presented which illustrates the theoretical results.

  • In this article, we consider singularly perturbed Boundary Value Problems(BVPs) for second order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) with Neumann boundary condition and discontinuous source term. A parameter-uniform error bound for the solution is established using the Streamline-Diffusion Finite Element Method (SDFEM) on a piecewise uniform meshes. We prove that the method is almost second order of convergence in the maximum norm, independently of the perturbation parameter. Further we derive superconvergence results for scaled derivatives of solution of the same problem. Numerical results are provided to substantiate the theoretical results.

  • We consider singularly perturbed Boundary Value Problems (BVPs) for third and fourth order Ordinary Differential Equations(ODEs) of convection-diffusion type with discontinuous source term and a small positive parameter multiplying the highest derivative. Because of the type of Boundary Conditions(BCs) imposed on these equations these problems can be transformed into weakly coupled systems. In this system, the first equation does not have the small parameter but the second contains it. In this paper a computational method named as 'An asymptotic finite element method' for solving these systems is presented. In this method we first find an zero order asymptotic approximation to the solution and then the system is decoupled by replacing the first component of the solution by this approximation in the second equation. Then the second equation is independently solved by a fitted mesh Finite Element Method (FEM). Numerical experiments support our theoritical results.

  • The problem of natural convection from a vertical fin is solved by coupling the thermal diffusion equation in the fin to the constitutive equations of the ambient medium involving the radiation of the medium. The analysis is accomplished by employing an integral method. The governing equations for the problem are solved by shooting method based on the Runge-Kutta Scheme at Pr= 0.7. For the range of values of the fin parameter and the radiation-conduction parameter in the analysis, the numerical results show that the radiation effects play an important role in the heat transfer and enhance the heat transfer.

  • We consider a mixed type singularly perturbed one dimensional elliptic problem with discontinuous source term. The domain under consideration is partitioned into two subdomains. A convection-diffusion and a reaction-diffusion type equations are posed on the first and second subdomains respectively. Two hybrid difference schemes on Shishkin mesh are constructed and we prove that the schemes are almost second order convergence in the maximum norm independent of the diffusion parameter. Error bounds for the numerical solution and its numerical derivative are established. Numerical results are presented which support the theoretical results.

  • A parameter uniform numerical scheme is proposed for solving singularly perturbed parabolic partial differential-difference convection-diffusion equations with a small delay and advance parameters in reaction terms and spatial variable. Taylor's series expansion is applied to approximate problems with the delay and advance terms. The resulting singularly perturbed parabolic convection-diffusion equation is solved by utilizing the implicit Euler method for the temporal discretization and finite difference method for the spatial discretization on a uniform mesh. The proposed numerical scheme is shown to be an ε-uniformly convergent accurate of the first order in time and second-order in space directions. The efficiency of the scheme is proved by some numerical experiments and by comparing the results with other results. It has been found that the proposed numerical scheme gives a more accurate approximate solution than some available numerical methods in the literature.

  • Convective-diffusion equations appear in various disciplines such as hydrology, chemical engineering and oceanography dealing with the transport problem of scalar quantities. Since it is nonlinear, numerical methods are generally used to obtain its solution. Very limited number of analytical solutions are available usually in cases when the convective velocity is constant or has a simple functional form (for some collection of the solutions, see Noye, 1987). There is however a continuing need to develop analytical solutions because of its practical importance. Analytical solutions of the convection-diffusion equation are valuable not only for the better understanding on the transport process but the verification of numerical schemes. (omitted)
