+## Introduction ##
+
+Convective schemes are used in the FVM discretization of convective fluxes through the faces of the dual-grid control volumes.
+They are selected via option `CONV_NUM_METHOD_FLOW` and fall under the two broad categories of central and upwind.
+Central schemes tend to be more robust whereas second order upwind schemes can be more accurate (i.e. less dissipative).
+To achieve second order upwind schemes need to be used with MUSCL reconstruction (`MUSCL_FLOW = YES`), see the "gradients and limiters" page for the MUSCL-related options.

+
+Only one method is currently available: `SCALAR_UPWIND` which must be selected via option `CONV_NUM_METHOD_TURB`.
+This method does not have any special parameters.
