In numerical analysis and computational fluid dynamics, Godunov's scheme is a conservative numerical scheme, suggested by S. K. Godunov in 1959, for solving partial differential equations. One can think of this method as a conservative Finite-volume_method which solves exact, or approximate Riemann_problems at each inter-cell boundary. In its basic form, Godunov's method is first order accurate in both space, and time, yet can be used as a base scheme for developing higher-order methods.
