What is linear upwind scheme?

Linear upwind is another significant scheme for advection. It is used particularly for advection of momentum, i.e. or. but can be effective for advection of other variables. The scheme reduces the diffusive nature of upwind by including additional upwind cell values indirectly from the gradient.

What is upwind in CFD?

In computational physics, the term upwind scheme (sometimes advection scheme) typically refers to a class of numerical discretization methods for solving hyperbolic partial differential equations, in which so-called upstream variables are used to calculate the derivatives in a flow field.

What is second order upwind?

A second-order upwind scheme is used for the space discretization of the momentum and energy equations in the simulations.

What is Gauss linear scheme?

default Gauss linear; The Gauss entry specifies the standard finite volume discretisation of Gaussian integration which requires the interpolation of values from cell centres to face centres. The interpolation scheme is then given by the linear entry, meaning linear interpolation or central differencing.
