Étude des discrétisations superconsistantes et application à la résolution numérique d’équations d’advection-diffusion
This thesis develops the work of Fatone, Funaro et al. on superconsistent discretizations. We first give a precise definition of superconsistency and how it relates to consistency. We then suggest an explicit approach to constructing a superconsistent scheme from a linear operator and we apply the method to the advection-diffusion operator which we find, for example, in advective diffusive problems and the Navier Stokes equations. Both an analytical study and some numerical tests are provided. The choice of problems is made so that the diffusive term is small compared to the advective term. Solutions to such problems typically contain a boundary layer and classical centered finite difference methods may display some spurious oscillations in and near that layer. In contrast, solutions obtained with the superconsistent method are far more stable. In this work, only problems in one and two dimensions are treated since three dimensional problems would be too demanding on computational resources.
