An Upwind Finite Difference Method to Singularly Perturbed Convection Diffusion Problems on a Shishkin Mesh
share
This paper introduces a numerical approach to solve singularly perturbed convection diffusion boundary value problems for second-order ordinary differential equations that feature a small positive parameter ϵ multiplying the highest derivative. We specifically examine Dirichlet boundary conditions. To solve this differential equation, we propose an upwind finite difference method and incorporate the Shishkin mesh scheme to capture the solution near boundary layers. Our solver is both direct and of high accuracy, with computation time that scales linearly with the number of grid points. MATLAB code of the numerical recipe is made publicly available. We present numerical results to validate the theoretical results and assess the accuracy of our method. The tables and graphs included in this paper demonstrate the numerical outcomes, which indicate that our proposed method offers a highly accurate approximation of the exact solution.
