A Taylor series analysis of the upwind scheme discussed above will show that it is first-order accurate in space and time. Modified wavenumber analysis shows that the first-order upwind scheme introduces severe numerical diffusion /dissipation in the solution where large gradients exist due to necessity of high wavenumbers to represent sharp ...
Solution in the central difference scheme fails to converge for Peclet number greater than 2 which can be overcome by using an upwind scheme to give a reasonable result. [1]: Fig. 5.5, 5.13 Therefore the upwind differencing scheme is applicable for Pe > 2 for positive flow and Pe < −2 for negative flow. For other values of Pe, this scheme ...
One can think of this method as a conservative finite volume method which solves exact, or approximate Riemann problems at each inter-cell boundary. In its basic form, Godunov's method is first order accurate in both space and time, yet can be used as a base scheme for developing higher-order methods.
Shows the analytical solution along with a simulation based upon a first order upwind spatial discretization scheme. We will consider the fundamentals of the MUSCL scheme by considering the following simple first-order, scalar, 1D system, which is assumed to have a wave propagating in the positive direction,
Any chosen scheme needs to cope with the fact that is discontinuous, unlike e.g. the distance function used in the Level-Set method. Whereas a first order upwind scheme smears the interface, a downwind scheme of the same order will cause a false distribution problem which will cause erratic behavior in case of the flow is not oriented along a ...
However, for large Peclet numbers (generally > 2) this approximation gave inaccurate results. It was recognized independently by several investigators [1] [2] that the less expensive but only first order accurate upwind scheme can be employed but that this scheme produces results with false diffusion for multidimensional cases. Many new schemes ...

In this method, the basic shape function is modified to obtain the upwinding effect. This method is an extension of Runge–Kutta discontinuous for a convection-diffusion equation. For time-dependent equations, a different kind of approach is followed. The finite difference scheme has an equivalent in the finite element method (Galerkin method ...
