Strange oscillation when solving the advection equation by finite-difference with fully closed Neumann boundary conditions (reflection at boundaries)
I am trying to solving the advection equation but have a strange oscillation appearing in the solution when the wave reflects from the boundaries. If anybody has seen this artefact before I would be ...

Can the advection equation with variable velocity be conservative?
I am trying to understand the advection equation with variable velocity coefficient a bit better. In particular I don't understand how the equation can be conservative.
The advection equation,

Trouble implementing Neumann boundary conditions because the ghost points cannot be eliminated
Neumann boundary conditions are implemented by introducing ghost points outside the domain and then using the boundary conditions to eliminate the ghost points. For example, see this question.
I ...

Closed boundary conditions in finite difference method for diffusive-advective equation
I am implementing a finite difference method in solving the diffusive-advective equation:
$$
u_t + v \cdot u_x = D\cdot u_{xx}
$$
(v, D are constants). Planning to use the operator splitting method (...
