AbstractThis paper presents a convergence analysis for the exponentially fitted finite volume method in two dimensions applied to a linear singularly perturbed convection-diffusion equation with exponential boundary layers. The method is formulated as a nonconforming Petrov-Galerkin finite element method with an exponentially fitted trial space and a piecewise constant test space. The corresponding bilinear form is proved to be coercive with respect to a discrete energy norm. Numerical results are presented to verify the theoretical rates of convergence.

AbstractConvection and diffusion are two harmonious physical processes that transfer particles and physical quantities. This paper deals with a new aspect of solving the convection–diffusion equation in fractional order using the finite volume method and the finite difference method. In this context, we present an alternative way for estimating the space fractional derivative by utilizing the fractional Grünwald formula. The proposed methods are conditionally stable with second-order accuracy in space and first-order accuracy in time. Many comparisons are performed to display reliability and capability of the proposed methods. Furthermore, several results and conclusions are provided to indicate appropriateness of the finite volume method in solving the space fractional convection–diffusion equation compared with the finite difference method.
