Abstract
We derive a high-order compact alternating direction implicit (ADI) method for solving three-dimentional unsteady convection-diffusion problems. The method is fourth-order in space and second-order in time. It permits multiple uses of the one-dimensional tridiagonal algorithm with a considerable saving in computing time and results in a very efficient solver. It is shown through a discrete Fourier analysis that the method is unconditionally stable in the diffusion case. Numerical experiments are conducted to test its high order and to compare it with the standard second-order Douglas-Gunn ADI method and the spatial fourth-order compact scheme by Karaa. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
