Convection problems governed by hyperbolic equations cannot be solved by conventional finite element methods. Various upwind schemes introduced into finite element methods to solve this class of problems suffer from a numerical error called the artificial diffusion. The amount of artificial diffusion depends not only on the mesh size but also on the flow rate. To minimize artificial diffusion the...
