A posteriori Variational Multiscale Methods for the 1D convection-diffusion equations by Chacón Rebollo, Tomás, Domínguez-Delgado, Antonio, Gómez Marmol, Macarena

“…We present an extension of this technique to nonlinear convection-diffusion equations (a traffic model), providing an efficient method for the resolution of shocks from just the Galerkin solution at targeted times. We also present a residual-based “a posteriori” VMS filtering, that provides quite accurate stable solutions, can be extended to multi-dimensional problems, and can be applied locally. …”
