The non-oscillatory shape functions [1] is written as follows:

Equation (3) is non-oscillatory shape functions that will be used in this paper for CFD problems.
Examples
In this section, I am going to use the equation (3) as shape function for approximating a few equation and compare its result with non-constant . As first example, I approximated 1D advective equation by Point Collocation weight function, see figure (1). In second example, I approximated 1D convection-diffusion equation in by Galerkin weight function, see figure (2). In third example, I approximated 2D Euler equations for pressure distribution on surface of NACA 0012 airfoil [1] by Galerkin weight function and infinite elements for non-solid boundaries, see figure (4), and flow around a cylinder [1] by Subdomain Collocation weight function see figure (6).
Conclusions
As can be seen from the results, with any number of elements solutions are non-oscillatory, and when we use fine mesh (usually in CFD is used) solutions are very close together. So, using of constant EDL, FVL is useful.
