A Survey of Difference Methods for Non-Steady Fluid Dynamics

Several finite-difference approximations to the hyperbolic equations of fluid dynamics are described, and their qualities assessed. They include the schemes normally used and, for comparison, an unstable and a completely stable implicit scheme. Accuracy and stability are discussed. The Lax-Wendroff scheme, for a system of conservation laws, is discussed for problems in one and in two space variables.
