Abstract

We approximate convection-diffusion equations with irrotational flows by a symmetric finite element formulation. Since very large real numbers appear in this formulation, we realize it on a URR (an internal representation method of real numbers) machine where practically no overflow/underflow occurs. Numerical results show that this formulation is applicable for sufficiently high Peclet number problems and is promising in terms of computation time and storage.
