Abstract
When approximating a hyperbolic system of conservation laws w t + {f(w)} t = 0 with so-called upwind differences, we must, in the first place, establish which way the wind blows. More precisely, we must determine in which direction each of a variety of signals moves through the computational grid. For this purpose, a physical model of the interaction between computational cells is needed; at present two such models are in use.
