Before examining different numerical schemes for the title problem, the authors write out and discuss the equations governing the atmospheric pollutant dynamics in Eulerian description. It is pointed out that the horizontal transport in the atmosphere is dominated by advection. Thus, the employed advective solvers must handle the hyperbolic nature of the problem without introducing significant diffusion or dispersion, which in the presence of nonlinear chemistry can lead to considerable errors. Keeping this in mind, the authors describe and evaluate eight advection schemes known in the literature: the Smolarkiewicz scheme; the piecewise parabolic method; the Bott scheme; the Yamartino scheme; the flux-corrected transport scheme; the semi-Lagrangian method; the chapeau function scheme with Forester filter, and finally the accurate space derivative scheme. The test cases range from very simple one-dimensional advection to two-dimensional shear flows and chemically reactive flows. A detailed multiparametric discussion of this testing summarized in tables, concludes the work. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0903.00023].
