For compressible two-phase displacement problem,the modified upwind finite difference fractionalsteps schemes are put forward.Some techniques,such as calculus of variations,commutative law of multiplicationof difference operators,decomposition of high order difference operators,the theory of prior estimates and tech-niques are used.Optimal order estimates in L^2 norm are derived for the error in the approximate solution.Thismethod has already been applied to the numerical simulation of seawater intrusion and migration-accumulationof oil resources.
In this paper, we consider a hydrodynamic model of the semiconductor device. The approximate solutions are obtained by a mixed finite volume method for the potential equation and multistep upwind finite volume methods for the concentration equations. Error estimates in some discrete norms are derived under some regularity assumptions on the exact solutions.
In this paper, we implement alternating direction strategy and construct a symmetric FVE scheme for nonlinear convection-diffusion problems. Comparing to general FVE methods, our method has two advantages. First, the coefficient matrices of the discrete schemes will be symmetric even for nonlinear problems. Second, since the solution of the algebraic equations at each time step can be inverted into the solution of several one-dimensional problems, the amount of computation work is smaller. We prove the optimal H1-norm error estimates of order O（△t2 ＋ h） and present some numerical examples at the end of the paper.
