Nonlinear Finite Volume Scheme Preserving Positivity for 2D Convection-Diffusion Equations on Polygonal Meshes

In this paper, a nonlinear finite volume scheme preserving positivity for solving 2D steady convection-diffusion equation on arbitrary convex polygonal meshes is proposed. First, the nonlinear positivity-preserving finite volume scheme is developed. Then, in order to avoid the computed solution beyond the upper bound, the cell-centered unknowns and auxiliary unknowns on the cell-edge are corrected. We prove that the present scheme can avoid the numerical solution beyond the upper bound. Our scheme is locally conservative and has only cell-centered unknowns. Numerical results show that our scheme preserves the above conclusion and has second-order accuracy for solution.
