Are the usual methods like central difference which is widely used to model a diffusion dominant situation not likely to be fit for modeling convection dominated scenarios, as it produces spurious oscillations? I observed that increasing the number of points in convection calculations reduces dispersion error (which is due to fact of increased accuracy ), but it also leads to interpolating the boundary conditions. How can I choose the best suitable method for given convection dominated 2D problems?
