In this work we consider the dual-primal Discontinuous Petrov–Galerkin (DPG) method for the advection-diffusion model problem. Since in the DPG method both mixed internal variables are discontinuous,a static condensation procedure can becarried out, leading to a single-field nonconformingdiscretization scheme. For this latter formulation,we propose a flux-upwind stabilization technique to deal with the advection-dominated case. The resulting scheme is conservative and satisfies a discrete maximum principle under standard geometrical assumptions on the computational grid. A convergence analysis isdeveloped, proving first-order accuracy of the method in a discrete H 1-norm, and the numerical performance of the scheme is validated on benchmark problems with sharp internal and boundary layers.
