Abstract

In this paper, a numerical method is proposed for solving Convection Diffusion equations. The method is based upon the Legendre wavelet expansion. The Legendre wavelets operational matrix of integration is derived and utilized to transform the equation to a system of algebraic equations by combining collocation method. The proposed method is very convenient for solving such problems since conditions are taken into account automatically. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed Legendre wavelets method.
