Improving finite-volume diffusive fluxes through better reconstruction

The overarching goal of CFD is to compute solutions with low numerical error. For finite-volume schemes, this error originates as error in the flux integral. For diffusion problems on unstructured meshes, the diffusive flux (computed from reconstructed gradients) is one order less accurate than the...
