A note on upwinding and anisotropic balancing dissipation in finite element approximations to convective diffusion problems

TLDR
In this article, Petrov-Galerkin nonsymmetric weighting for the convective diffusion equation can be interpreted as an added dissipation, and the addition of an appropriate amount of dissipation can therefore give the same oscillation-free solutions as the "unwinding", Petrov and Galerkin, finite element methods.
Abstract
In one dimension, Petrov—Galerkin nonsymmetric weighting for the convective diffusion equation can be interpreted as an added dissipation. The addition of an appropriate amount of dissipation can therefore give the same oscillation-free solutions as the ‘unwinding’, Petrov—Galerkin, finite element methods. The ‘balancing dissipation’ is optimally chosen so that excessive dissipation does not occur. A scheme is presented for extending this approach to two-dimensional problems, and numerical examples show that the new method can be used with improved computational efficiency.

Comparison of some finite element methods for solving the diffusion-convection-reaction equation

TL;DR: It is shown that the classical SUPG method is very similar to an explicit version of the Characteristic-Galerkin method, whereas the Taylor-Galerskin method has a stabilization effect similar to a sub-grid scale model, which is in turn related to the introduction of bubble functions.
