Notes:
A new Petrov-Galerkin method to deal with convection-diffusion problems is presented. The formulation is derived from the concept of using a modifying function to make the differential operator self-adjoint. The so-called ‘optimal upwind’ parameter (α) arises naturally from the process of approximating the modifying function. Transient and steady-state examples on uniform and non-uniform meshes are shown.
