In the present application of several implicit integration schemes for the one-dimensional Euler equations with conservative upwind spatial differencing to a steady discontinuous flow problem, the fastest convergence is obtained with the upwind switching that is furnished by van Leer's (1977) differentiable split fluxes; these easily linearize in time. The trapping of the iterations in a limit cycle with Roe's (1980) nondifferentiable split flux-difference also occurs in a second-order scheme with split fluxes, if the matrix coefficients arising in the implicit time-linearization are not properly centered in space. The use of split flux-derived second-order terms degrades solution accuracy, especially if they are subjected to a limiter for the sake of monotonicity's preservation. The best performance is obtained from second-order terms computed on the basis of the characteristic variables.
