The Finite Volume Formulation for 2D Second-Order Elliptic Problems with Discontinuous Diffusion/Dispersion Coefficients

Figure 8

Test case 2: error curves for the gradient approximation (left plot) and the solution approximation (right plot). Problem (2.1)-(2.2) is solved using mesh family and the discontinuous diffusion tensor (4.7).The errors obtained by average (3.18)-(3.19) are marked by circles, the errors obtained by using the weighted arithmetic average are marked by squares. In the bottom-left corner of both plots, we show the exact slopes proportional to (gradient errors) and to and (solution errors).
