Abstract
A novel Flux Limited Splitting (FLS) non-linear Finite Volume (FV) method for families of linear Control Volume Distributed Multi Point Flux Approximation (CVD-MPFA) schemes is presented. The new formulation imposes a local discrete maximum principal (LDMP) which ensures that the discrete solution is free of spurious oscillations. The FLS scheme can be seen as a natural extension of the M-Matrix Flux Splitting method that splits the MPFA flux components in terms of the Two-Point Flux Approximation (TPFA) flux and Cross Diffusion Terms (CDT), with the addition of a dynamically computed relaxation parameter to the CDT that identifies and locally corrects the regions where the LDMP is violated. Moreover, the whole non-linear procedure was devised as a series of simple straightforward matrix operations. The methodology is presented considering the Multi-Point Flux Approximation with a Diamond (MPFA-D) in what we call the FLS + MPFA-D formulation which is tested using a series of challenging benchmark problems. For all test cases, the FLS repair technique imposes the LDMP and eliminates the spurious oscillations induced by the original MPFA-D method.
