In this paper, we consider the convection-dominated diffusion problems in two dimensions

Convection-diffusion processes appear in many areas of science and technology, such as fluid
dynamics, hydrology, the phenomena of heat and mass transfer and so on. In many convection-
diffusion types of problems arising from real applications, the convection coefficients are often
much larger than the diffusion ones, leading to convection-dominated problems. The numerical
method for such problems presents a challenging computational task. Many standard methods,
such as the standard finite difference method or finite element method perform poorly and
exhibit severe nonphysical oscillations for convection-dominated problems. The investigation
of convection-dominated diffusion problems has been an interesting object recently [1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8]. However, parallel algorithm for convection-dominated diffusion problems is few.
Parallel algorithm is a new approach for high performance computing. Recently, the
parallel difference method for parabolic equations has been studied rapidly. Evans [9] first
constructed the Alternating Group Explicit (AGE) scheme for the diffusion equation. The
Alternating Segment Explicit-Implicit (ASE-I) scheme and the Alternating Segment Crank-
Nicolson (ASC-N) scheme were designed in [10, 11]. Afterwards, the alternating segment algo-
rithms (AGE scheme, ASE-I scheme and ASC-N scheme) above became very effective methods
for parabolic equations, such as convection-diffusion equation [12, 13, 14], dispersive equation
[15, 16, 17, 18, 19], forth-order parabolic equation [20, 21, 22] and nonlinear third-order KdV
equation [23]. Meanwhile, domain decomposition methods (DDMs) for partial differential e-
quations have been studied extensively [24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34]. In 1999, the
alternating difference schemes with intrinsic parallelism for two-dimensional parabolic systems
were presented in [35], the unconditional stability analysis was given. The unconditionally
stable domain decomposition method was obtained by the alternating technique in [36, 37, 38].
In fact, alternating segment algorithm is also a form of domain decomposition method, which
is not only suitable for parallel computation but also unconditionally stable.
Inspired by alternating segment algorithm, a new parallel algorithm for convection-dominated
diffusion problems will be presented in this paper by alternating direction implicit (ADI) tech-
