Notes:
In this note we show that the numerical solution of the advection-diffusion equation can be improved by considering the asymptotic behaviour of its analytical solution. This is accomplished by including a correction term based on the numerical differentiation of the asymptotic (Pe » 1, Pe being the Peclet number) solution. This correction forces the usual oscillations associated with centred schemes to disappear.
