Özet

This paper studies the error in, the efficient implementation of and time stepping methods for a variational multiscale method (VMS) for solving convection-dominated problems. The VMS studied uses a fine mesh C-O finite element space X-h to approximate the concentration and a coarse mesh discontinuous vector finite element space L-H for the large scales of the flux in the two scale discretization. Our tests show that these choices lead to an efficient VMS whose complexity is further reduced if a (locally) L-2-orthogonal basis for L-H is used. A fully implicit and a semi-implicit treatment of the terms which link effects across scales are tested and compared. The semi-implicit VMS was much more efficient. The observed global accuracy of the most straightforward VMS implementation was much better than the artificial diffusion stabilization and comparable to a streamline-diffusion finite element method in our tests.
