We present in this article a positive finite volume method for diffusion equation on deformed meshes. This method is mainly inspired from [50][Z. Sheng, 2009], [52][S. Wang, 2012], and uses auxiliary unknowns at the nodes of the mesh. The flux is computed so as to be a two‐point nonlinear flux, giving rise to a matrix which is the transpose of an M‐matrix, which ensures that the scheme is positive. A particular attention is given to the computation of the auxiliary unknowns. We propose a new strategy, which aims at providing a scheme easy to implement in a parallel domain decomposition setting. An analysis of the scheme is provided: existence of a solution for the nonlinear system is proved, and the convergence of a fixed‐point strategy is studied.
