We perform a spectral analysis of the dispersive and dissipative properties of two time-splitting procedures, namely, locally one-dimensional (LOD) Lax-Wendroff and LOD (1, 5) [9] for the numerical solution of the 2D advection-diffusion equation. We solve a 2D numerical experiment described by an advection-diffusion partial differential equation with specified initial and boundary conditions for which the exact solution is known. Some errors are computed, namely, the error rate with respect to theL1norm, dispersion and dissipation errors. Lastly, an optimization technique is implemented to find the optimal value of temporal step size that minimizes the dispersion error for both schemes when the spatial step is chosen as 0.025, and this is validated by numerical experiments.

This paper presents numerical simulation of one-dimensional advection-diffusion equation. We study the analytical solution of advection diffusion equation as an initial value problem in infinite space and realize the qualitative behavior of the solution in terms of advection and diffusion co-efficient. We obtain the numerical solution of this equation by using explicit centered difference scheme and Crank-Nicolson scheme for prescribed initial and boundary data. We implement the numerical scheme by developing a computer programming code and present the stability analysis of Crank-Nicolson scheme for ADE. For the validity test, we perform error estimation of the numerical scheme and presented the numerical features of rate of convergence graphically. The qualitative behavior of the ADE for different choice of the advection and diffusion co-efficient is verified. Finally, we estimate the pollutant in a river at different times and different points by using these numerical scheme. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res.55(1), 15-22, 2020
