A Fluid Transport Algorithm that Works.
Abstract
The paper describes a class of explicit, Eulerian finite-difference algorithms for solving the continuity equation which are built around a technique called flux correction. These Flux-Corrected Transport Algorithms are of indeterminate order but yield realistic, accurate results. In addition to the mass-conserving property of most conventional algorithms, the FCT algorithms strictly maintain the positivity of actual mass densities so steep gradients and inviscid shocks are handled particularly well. This paper concentrates on a one-dimensional version called SHASTA. (Author)
