A Linearised Singularly Perturbed Convection-Diffusion Problem with an Interior Layer

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A linear time dependent singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problem is examined. The convective coefficient contains an interior layer (with a hyperbolic tangent profile), which in turn induces an interior layer in the solution. A numerical method consisting of a monotone finite difference operator and a piecewise-uniform Shishkin mesh is constructed and analysed. Neglecting logarithmic factors, first order parameter uniform convergence is established.
