Approaches for Improving the Numerical Solution of the Advection Equation

  • Chapter
Large Scale Computations in Air Pollution Modelling

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASEN2,volume 57))

Abstract

One of the key problems in airborne pollution modelling is accuracy and fast solving of the advection equation. The best chemical schemes and boundary layer parametrization will be useless due to errors in calculation of advection. A lot of methods and schemes have been proposed for attacking the task [1,2,3], but only a few of them are suitable in practice, because the compromise between accuracy and computation speed is an open problem. The important sources of errors in advection computation are considered below and two numerical advection schemes developed on this base are presented.
