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== The upwind differencing scheme by taking into account the direction of the flow overcomes that inability of the central differencing scheme. This scheme is developed for strong convective flows with suppressed diffusion effects. Also known as ‘Donor Cell’ Differencing Scheme, the convected value of property ф at the cell face is adopted from the upstream node. It can be described by Steady convection-diffusion partial Differential Equation〔H.K Versteeg & W. Malalasekera (1995).
