The order of accuracy of the central differencing scheme is _____________(a) fourth-order(b) third-order(c) second-order(d) first-orderThe question was posed to me in an international level competition.Asked question is from Convection-Diffusion Problems in chapter Convection-Diffusion Problems of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer»

Right answer is (c) second-order

To explain: The central differencing scheme is second-order accurate. This can be PROVED by using the TAYLOR series expansion. This is more accurate when compared to the upwind or the DOWNWIND SCHEMES.
