  • linearUpwind in an upwinded scheme
About their accuracy, limitedLinear is in my experience slightly less diffusive, but I had good results with both the schemes.

I believe the second order upwind scheme in commercial codes is close to linearUpwind than to limitedLinear, probably with limiters turned on. Something along the lines of

div(phi, U) Gauss linearUpwindV cellMDLimited Gauss linear 1;

(notice linearUpwindV becomes linearUpwind for scalars) which limits also the gradients.

Best,
