To avoid the local oscillations that still remain using the streamline-upwind/Petrov-Galerkin formulation for the scalar convection-diffusion equation, the introduction of a nonlinear crosswind dissipation is proposed. It is shown that the method is less overdiffusive than other discontinuity-capturing techniques and has better numerical behavior. The design of the crosswind diffusion is based on the study of the discrete maximum principle for some simple cases.
