Article Description

Standard Galerkin methods often perform poorly for problems with low diffusion. In particular for purely convective transport, least-squares (LS) formulations provide a good alternative. While spatial stability is relatively straightforward in a least-squares finite element framework, estimates in time are restricted, in most cases, to one dimension. This article presents temporal stability proofs for the LS formulation of θ -schemes, including unconditional stability for the backward Euler and Crank-Nicolson methods in two or three dimensions. The theory includes also the linear advection-reaction equation. A series of numerical experiments confirm that the new stability estimates are sharp.
