Abstract
The performances of various numerical schemes used to model hyperbolic/parabolic equations have been studied by the calculation of their numerical group velocities. Numerical experiments conducted with one dimensional linear and quadratic Lagrangian finite elements with a Crank‐Nicolson finite differencing in time confirm the results of the analysis. The group velocity analysis supplements the well‐known amplitude and phase portraits introduced by Leendertse1 and helps explain the occurrence and behaviour of numerical oscillations in both finite difference and finite element schemes.Keywords
