Robust finite difference method is introduced in order to solve singularly perturbed two parametric parabolic convection-diffusion problems. In order to discretize the solution domain, Micken’s type discretization on a uniform mesh is applied and then followed by the fitted operator approach. The convergence of the method is established and observed to be first-order convergent, but it is accelerated by Richardson extrapolation. To validate the applicability of the proposed method, some numerical examples are considered and observed that the numerical results confirm the agreement of the method with the theoretical results effectively. Furthermore, the method is convergent regardless of perturbation parameter and produces more accurate solution than the standard methods for solving singularly perturbed parabolic problems.

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.
