1D advection-diffusion--need to benchmark my code; any suggestions?

bzz77 · March 21, 2010, 06:40

Hi everyone:

I am teaching myself transport/programming, and have created a simple program for 1-D advection-diffusion (constant velocity, diffusion coefficient, central differencing, Crank-Nicolson).

I would like to check that my code is working properly and would appreciate any advice about how to go about this. I have not been successful on Google at finding code that others have written... If anyone can direct me or provide advice about getting an analytical solution, I would be very grateful. An EXCEL-based spreadsheet or a Matlab or a c++ implementation would be useful.

Hello,

as a first step you can set diffusion coefficient zero-your initial condition should move the prescribed velocity unchanged.
