Abstract

In this work, a new finite difference scheme is presented to discretize a 3D advection–diffusion equation following the work of Dehghan (Math Probl Eng 1:61–74, 2005, Kybernetes 36(5/6):791–805, 2007). We then use this scheme and two existing schemes namely Crank–Nicolson and Implicit Chapeau function to solve a 3D advection–diffusion equation with given initial and boundary conditions. We compare the performance of the methods by computing l2-error, l-error and some performance indices such as mass distribution ratio, mass conservation ratio, total mass and coefficient of determination (Kvalseth in Am Stat 39(4):279–285, 1985). We then use optimization techniques to improve the results from the numerical methods.
