A new class of positivity‐preserving, flux‐limited finite‐difference and Petrov–Galerkin (PG) finite‐element methods are devised for reactive transport problems.The methods are similar to classical TVD flux‐limited schemes with the main difference being that the flux‐limiter constraint is designed to preserve positivity for problems involving diffusion and reaction. In the finite‐element formulation, we also consider the effect of numerical quadrature in the lumped and consistent mass matrix forms on the positivity‐preserving property. Analysis of the latter scheme shows that positivity‐preserving solutions of the resulting difference equations can only be guaranteed if the flux‐limited scheme is both implicit and satisfies an additional lower‐bound condition on time‐step size. We show that this condition also applies to standard Galerkin linear finite‐element approximations to the linear diffusion equation. Numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate the behavior of the methods and confirm the theoretical conditions on time‐step size, mesh spacing, and flux limiting for transport problems with and without nonlinear reaction.
