Hello,

I'm testing a simple case only with convection term, no diffusion term, no 
source term. I used exponential, hybrid and Upwind  schemes to describe the 
convection term. But, these all failed to solve this case. It seems only 
VanLeer scheme provides a more reliable result. I just want to know more 
details in VanLeer scheme which is not included in the FiPy User's Guide.
Another question is: can I describe the convection term as 
convTerm=(convCoeff*var.getArithmeticFaceValue()).getDivergence()
convCoeff is a vector. What's the difference if I define the convection term by 
myself without using the (default) scheme.
Thank you so much in advance for any help.

ps. I used 2D model with periodic boundary.
