Hi Daniel,

I'm getting a better grip on what's happening, and it's embarrassing I didn't

notice that before.  Ex. 5.1 was solved via a "standard" FV technique, whereas
Exponential and Power Law are enhancements of such "standard" technique.
I apologize for wasting your time with this.  I will be more careful next time I
post to the list.

I used both Exponential...() and PowerLaw...() methods, the former faring
slightly better than the latter in the last (the 5th) cell.  Upwind...() did not
produce good results, but I'm pretty sure I'm making a mistake somewhere.

Fausto
