Abstract
We present a modified characteristic finite element method that exhibits second-order spatial accuracy for solving convection-reaction-diffusion equations on surfaces.
The temporal direction adopted backward-Euler method, while the spatial direction employed surface finite element method.
In contrast to regular domains, it is observed that the point in the characteristic direction traverses the surface only once within a brief time.
Thus, the good approximation of the solution in the characteristic direction holds significant importance for the numerical scheme.
In this regard, Taylor expansion is employed to reconstruct the solution beyond the surface in the characteristic direction.
The stability of our scheme is then proved.
A comparison is made with an existing characteristic finite element method based on face mesh.
Numerical examples are provided to validate the effectiveness of our proposed method.
