Good day. I wanted to know the use of the Upwind Scheme and how does it differ from the other schemes? I saw in the tutorial that the upwind scheme is rather inaccurate to use. But at some journals they often use it, especially in aerosol dispersion. I also read that they often use second order upwind scheme, but the upwind scheme in openfoam is at first order. Would it make a difference in the results? Thank you
