Summary We present a novel technique for solving extension problems such as the extension velocity, by reformulating the problem into an elliptic differential equation. We introduce a novel discretization using an upwind flux without any additional stabilization. This leads to a triangular matrix structure, which can be solved using a marching algorithm and high‐order accuracy, even in the presence of singularities.
