On the Behaviour of Upwind Schemes in the Low Mach Number Limit: A Review

This work is devoted to a review of different modifications proposed to enable compressible flow solvers to compute accurately flows near the incompressible limit. First the reasons of the failure of upwind solvers to obtain accurate solutions in the low Mach number regime are explained. Then different correction methods proposed in the literature are reviewed and discussed. This work concludes by some numerical experiments to illustrate the behaviour of the different methods.
