In this paper we construct an upwind compact finite difference scheme with group velocity control for better simulation of compressible flow fields. Compared with traditional difference schemes, compact schemes have higher accuracy for the same stencil width. By means of the characteristic analysis of the operators, the group velocity of wave packets will be controlled to suppress the non‐physical oscillations in numerical solutions. In numerical simulation of the 3D compressible flow fields the third‐order accurate upwind compact operator is used to approximate the derivatives in the convection terms of the compressible N–S equations, the traditional finite difference scheme is used to approximate the viscous terms. Numerical solutions indicate that the method is satisfactory. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
