Lax-Wendroff differencing scheme
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010587
A numerical method used to solve hyperbolic partial differential equations, particularly in atmospheric and oceanic modeling. This second-order accurate scheme involves a two-step process to approximate time derivatives, providing stability and reducing numerical dispersion. It is commonly applied in fluid dynamics simulations to model wave propagation and advection processes.
