Abstract

We propose a new local projection stabilization (LPS) finite element method for convection-diffusion-reaction equations. The discretization contains a crosswind diffusion term which depends on the unknown discrete solution in a nonlinear way. Consequently, the resulting method is nonlinear. Solvability of the nonlinear problem is established and an a priori error estimate in the LPS norm is proved. Numerical results show that the nonlinear crosswind diffusion term leads to a reduction of spurious oscillations.
