ip = up + b r
Upwind Scheme
• Upwind advection scheme b = 0
– robust but only first-order accurate
• Specified Blend scheme 0< b < 1 b=1.00
– when the correction is included it can overshoot or
undershoot what is physically possible

Timescale Selection
1
• For obtaining good convergence, the selection 0
of the timescale plays an important role
– Timescale: too large convergence becomes
bouncy or may even lead to the failure
– Timescale: too small convergence will be very
slow
• Do not confuse accurately solving the equations with overall solution accuracy –
the equations may or may not be a good representation of the true system!
