Summary

We seek a numerical scheme to describe the transport of a passive scalar. Our scheme should satisfy the requirement that sharp gradients in the concentration field are not smoothed out. Furthermore the scalar should always be positive. The field of application is the calculation of turbulent transport in large-eddy simulation of a turbulent flow, but the results apply also to other fields of fluid dynamics. Several candidates for numerical schemes are described and examined with the aid of test problems.
