A finite Volume Runge-Kutta Ellam Method for the Solution of Advection Diffusion Equations

We develop a finite volume characteristic method for the solution of the advection-diffusion equations which model the contaminant transport through porous medium. This method uses a second order Runge-Kutta approximation for the characteristics within the framework of the Eulerian Lagrangian locali...
