The following work presents a generalized (extended) finite element formulation for the advection-diffusion equation. Using enrichment functions that represent the exponential nature of the exact solution, smooth numerical solutions are obtained for problems with steep gradients and high Peclet numbers (up to Pe = 25) in one and two-dimensions. As opposed to traditional stabilized methods that require the construction of stability parameters and stabilization terms, the present work avoids numerical instabilities by improving the classical Galerkin solution with an enrichment function. To contextualize this method among other stabilized methods, we show by decomposition of the solution (in a multiscale manner) an equivalence to both Galerkin/least-squares type methods and those that use bubble functions. This work also presents a strategy for constructing the enrichment function for problems with complex geometries by employing a global-local approach.
