Upwind differencing scheme for convection
The upwind differencing scheme is a method used in numerical methods in computational fluid dynamics for convection–diffusion problems. This scheme is specific for Peclet number greater than 2 or less than −2 == Description == By taking into account the direction of the flow, the upwind differencing scheme overcomes that inability of the central differencing scheme.
