Subgrid modeling for convection-diffusion-reaction in one space dimension using a Haar Multiresolution analysis

Journal article, 2005

In this paper we propose and study a subgrid model for linear convection-diffusion-reaction equations with fractal rough coefficients. The subgrid model is based on scale extrapolation of a modeling residual from coarser scales using a computed solution on a finest scale as reference. We show in experiments that a solution with subgrid model on a scale h in most cases corresponds to a solution without subgrid model on a scale less than h/4. We also present error estimates for the modeling error in terms of modeling residuals.
