Abstract

We present a nonlinear flux approximation scheme for the spatial discretization of the viscous Burgers equation. We derive the numerical flux function from a local two-point boundary value problem (BVP), which results in a nonlinear equation that depends on the local boundary values and the diffusion constant. The flux scheme is consistent and stable (does not introduce any spurious oscillations), as demonstrated by the numerical results.
