摘要

In this article, a fourth-order compact alternating direction implicit (ADI) method, based on the clasical Douglas-Gunn ADI method combined with Richardson's extrapolation technique, is proposed for solving 3-D unsteady convection-diffusion equations with discontinuous coefficients. To achieve fourth-order temporal accuracy, a correction term that ensures the realization of extrapolation and reduces the splitting error is introduced. The scheme has unconditional stability and can be solved by the Thomas algorithm. Numerical experiments, including continuous/discontinuous coefficients cases, are conducted to verify the robustness and the high accuracy of this new method.
