Convection is an important transport mechanism in physics. Especially, in fluid dynamics at high Reynolds numbers this term dominates. Modern mimetic discretization methods consider physical variables as differential k-forms and their discrete analogues as k-cochains. Convection, in this parlance, is represented by the Lie derivative,ℒX. In this paper we design reduction operators, R from differential forms to cochains and define a discrete Lie derivative, ℒX which acts on cochains such that the commutation relation RℒX = ℒXR holds.
