Abstract

Compact differencing techniques have been shown to be applicable to simple first order advection equations. A second-order accurate compact upwind scheme has been derived which is identically equivalent to Keller's box method. Two fourth order compact analogs of Lax-Wendroff methods have also been shown. The accuracy of any of these compact methods is superior to a standard second-order method, even for one quarter of the nodes in the case of the fourth-order schemes.
