Abstract/Summary

Numerical results are presented and compared for three conservative upwind difference schemes for the Euler equations when applied to two standard test problems. This includes consideration of the effect of treating part of the flux balance as a source, and a comparison of different averaging of the flow variables. Two of the schemes are also shown to be equivalent in their implementation, while being different in construction and having different approximate Jacobians. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
