1.1 Background

The ADR solver can solve various problems, including the unsteady advection, unsteady diffusion, unsteady advection diffusion equation, etc. For a more detailed description of this solver, please refer to the User-Guide.

In this tutorial we focus on the unsteady advection equation

∂u
∂t-+ V ⋅∇u  = 0,
(1.1)

where u is the independent variable and V = [VxVyVz] is the advection velocity. The unsteady advection equation can be solved in one, two and three spatial dimensions. We will here consider a two-dimensional problem, so that V = [VxVy].
