Abstract

We present a discretization of the linear advection of differential forms on bounded domains. The framework established in [4] is extended to incorporate the Lie derivative, \(\mathcal{L}\), by means of Cartan’s homotopy formula. The method is based on a physics-compatible discretization with spectral accuracy. It will be shown that the derived scheme has spectral convergence with local mass conservation. Artificial dispersion depends on the order of time integration.
