Notes:
Upwind differencing is known to lead to a substantial loss in total pressure. The present paper illustrates the importance of this error on two problems: flow in a converging-diverging duct and flow around a cylinder. A correction is proposed that reduces the total pressure error and yields dramatically improved results for the test problems.
