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 ...
Fig 1:Flow domain illustrating false diffusion. In figure 1, u = 2 and v = 2 m/s everywhere so the velocity field is uniform and perpendicular to the diagonal (XX). The boundary conditions for temperature on north and west wall is 100 ̊C and for east and south wall is 0 ̊C.
Thus, the accuracy of a TVD discretization degrades to first order at local extrema, but tends to second order over smooth parts of the domain. The algorithm is straight forward to implement. Once a suitable scheme for F i + 1 / 2 ∗ {\displaystyle F_{i+1/2}^{*}} has been chosen, such as the Kurganov and Tadmor scheme (see below), the solution ...
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 ...
Exact time integration of the above formula from time = to time = + yields the exact update formula: + = + (((, + /)) ((, /))). Godunov's method replaces the time integral of each ∫ t n t n + 1 f ( q ( t , x i − 1 / 2 ) ) d t {\displaystyle \int _{t^{n}}^{t^{n+1}}f(q(t,x_{i-1/2}))\,dt} with a forward Euler method which yields a fully ...

Simpler to program, requires less computer time per step, and works well with multigrid acceleration techniques; Has a free parameter in conjunction with the fourth-difference dissipation, which is needed to approach a steady state. More accurate than the first-order upwind scheme if the Peclet number is less than 2. [3]
This method is conservative and first order accurate, hence quite dissipative. It can, however be used as a building block for building high-order numerical schemes for solving hyperbolic partial differential equations, much like Euler time steps can be used as a building block for creating high-order numerical integrators for ordinary ...
