##article.abstract##

We present a mimetic finite difference (MFD) method for the stable numerical solution of stationary convection-dominated diffusion problems. The superconvergence properties of MFD methods are also discussed. A crucial property of mimetic finite differences is that they can be defined on very general (e.g. non-convex and non-matching) polyhedral meshes. This fact will be illustrated through extencive numerical examples. [DOI: 10.1685/CSC06034] About DOI
