Abstract

A new numerical method that guarantees exact mass conservation is proposed to solve multidimensional hyperbolic equations in semi-Lagrangian form. The method is based on the constrained interpolation profile (CIP) scheme and keeps the many good characteristics of the original CIP scheme. The CIP strategy is applied to the integral form of variables. Although the advection and nonadvection terms are separately treated, mass conservation is kept in the form of a spatial profile inside a grid cell. Therefore, it retains various advantages of the semi-Lagrangian solution with exact conservation, which has been beyond the capability of conventional semi-Lagrangian schemes.
