A cell-centered finite volume semi-Lagrangian method is presented for the numerical solution of two-dimensional coupled Burgers’ problems on unstructured triangular meshes. The method combines a modified method of characteristics for the time integration and a cell-centered finite volume for the space discretization. The new method belongs to fractional-step algorithms for which the convection and the viscous parts in the coupled Burgers’ problems are treated separately. The crucial step of interpolation in the convection step is performed using two local procedures accounting for the element where the departure point is located. The resulting semidiscretized system is then solved using a third-order explicit Runge-Kutta scheme. In contrast to the Eulerian-based methods, we apply the new method for each time step along the characteristic curves instead of the time direction. The performance of the current method is verified using different examples for coupled Burgers’ problems with known analytical solutions. We also apply the method for simulation of an example of coupled Burgers’ flows in a complex geometry. In these test problems, the new cell-centered finite volume semi-Lagrangian method demonstrates its ability to accurately resolve the two-dimensional coupled Burgers’ problems.
