Abstract
It is argued that the vector resolution discretization scheme is not consistent with the velocity saturation model. As a result, the simulation results show dependence on grid orientation. A modification is then presented to overcome this difficulty. Simulation examples are discussed to clearly demonstrate the improvement obtained with the new scheme. Finally, some comments are made regarding the convergence behaviour of the new scheme
