Abstract

We consider the spectral difference method based on the p-th order Raviart~-- Thomas space (p=1,2,3) on regular triangular meshes for the scalar transport equation. The solution converges with the order p if the transport velocity is parallel to a family of mesh edges and with the order p+1 otherwise. We prove this fact for p=1 and show it for p=1,2,3 in numerical experiments.
