Abstract
This chapter presents the construction of the approximation of the space derivatives by centered differences. The schemes must be able to treat discontinuities in the flowfield, i.e. shock waves or vortex sheets. Two ways to handle discontinuities are either to track the shock wave explicitly with an additional algorithm, or to capture it implicitly with the scheme.
