Abstract

Abstract : In this article, we devise a uniformly convergent numerical scheme for solving singularly perturbed two‐dimensional parabolic convection–diffusion problem with non‐smooth convection coefficients and source term. The solution of this kind of problem typically exhibits interior layers due to the discontinuity of convection coefficients and source term. To capture the interior layers, the piecewise‐uniform mesh is used in the spatial directions and the uniform mesh is considered in temporal direction. To discretize the temporal and spatial derivatives, we apply an alternating direction method and upwind method, respectively. Theoretically, we prove that the proposed method is ε ‐uniformly convergent. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the theoretical estimates.
