Abstract
This paper investigates the supra-convergence
phenomenon that one can observe in the upwind finite volume method
for solving linear convection problem on a bounded domain but also
in finite difference scheme with non-uniform grids. Although the
scheme is no longer consistent in the finite difference sense and
Lax-Richtmyer theorem not suitable, it is a well-known convergent
method. In order to analyze the convergence rate, we introduce what
we call a geometric corrector, which is associated with every finite
volume mesh and every constant convection vector. Under a local
quasi-uniformity condition and if the continuous solution is regular
enough, there is a link between the convergence of the finite volume
scheme and this geometric corrector : the study of this latter leads
to the proof of the optimal order of convergence. We then focus our
attention on an uniformly refined mesh of quadrangles and on a
series of independent meshes of triangles and tetrahedrons. In these
latter cases, a loss of accuracy is observed if there exists in the
family of meshes a fixed straight line parallel to the convection
direction.
Résumé
Nous nous intéressons au phénomène de
supra-convergence que l'on observe pour le schéma volumes finis
appliqué à l'équation d'advection linéaire dans un domaine
borné mais aussi pour des schémas aux différences finies avec
des maillages non uniformes. Bien que le schéma ne soit pas
consistant au sens des différences finies et donc le théorème
de Lax-Richtmyer non applicable, il est convergent. Pour mener à
bien l'analyse, nous introduisons un correcteur géométrique ne
dépendant que du maillage et du vecteur de convection. L'analyse
de la convergence se ramène alors à l'analyse de ce correcteur
si la solution est suffisamment régulière. Nous proposons
l'étude numérique d'un maillage de quadrangles uniformément
raffinés ainsi qu'une série de maillages de triangles et de
tétraèdres indépendants les uns des autres. Dans ce dernier
cas, on observe une perte dans le taux de convergence s'il persiste
dans le maillage une droite fixe parallèle à la convection.
