Wang, Hong; Dahle, Helge K.; Ewing, Richard E.; Espedal, Magne S.; Sharpley, Robert C.; Man, Shushuang An ELLAM scheme for advection-diffusion equations in two dimensions. (English) Zbl 0939.65109 SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 20, No. 6, 2160-2194 (1999). An Eulerian-Lagrangian localized adjoint method (ELLAM) is developed to solve two-dimensional advection-diffusion equations with all combinations of inflow and outflow Dirichlet, Neumann and flux boundary conditions. The ELLAM method provides a systematic framework for implementation of general boundary conditions, leading to mass-conservative numerical schemes.The computational advantages of the ELLAM approximation are demonstrated for a number of one-dimensional transport systems. Practical implementations of those schemes in multiple spatial dimensions are discussed. Numerical results are presented to compare the ELLAM scheme with many widely used numerical methods and to demonstrate advantages of this scheme.
