Hybrid difference scheme

The hybrid difference scheme[1][2] is a method used in the numerical solution for convection–diffusion problems. It was introduced by Spalding (1970). It is a combination of central difference scheme and upwind difference scheme as it exploits the favorable properties of both of these schemes.[3][4]
