Aiming at the nonlinear convection diffusion equation with the numerical oscillations, a numerical stability algorithm is constructed. The basic principle of the finite point algorithm is given and the computational scheme of the nonlinear convection diffusion equation is deduced. Then, the numerical simulation of the one-dimensional and two-dimensional nonlinear convection-dominated diffusion equation is carried out. The relationship between the calculation result and the support domain size, step size and time is discussed. The results show that the algorithm has the characteristics of simplicity, stability and efficiency. Compared with the traditional finite element method and finite difference method, the new algorithm can attain a higher calculation accuracy. Simultaneously, it proves that the method given in this paper is effective to solve the nonlinear flow diffusion equation and can eliminate the numerical oscillations.

The numerical solution of convection-diffusion transport problems arises in many important applications in science and engineering. These problems occur in many applications such as in the transport of air and ground water pollutants, oil reservoir flow, in the modeling of semiconductors, and so forth. This paper describes several finite difference schemes for solving the one-dimensional convection-diffusion equation with constant coefficients. In this research the use of modified equivalent partial differential equation (MEPDE) as a means of estimating the order of accuracy of a given finite difference technique is emphasized. This approach can unify the deduction of arbitrary techniques for the numerical solution of convection-diffusion equation. It is also used to develop new methods of high accuracy. This approach allows simple comparison of the errors associated with the partial differential equation. Various difference approximations are derived for the one-dimensional constant coefficient convection-diffusion equation. The results of a numerical experiment are provided, to verify the efficiency of the designed new algorithms. The paper ends with a concluding remark.
