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.

Famous quotes containing the word scheme:
“We are all bound to the throne of the Supreme Being by a flexible chain which restrains without enslaving us. The most wonderful aspect of the universal scheme of things is the action of free beings under divine guidance.”
—Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
