We derive a fourth‐order finite difference scheme for the two‐dimensional convection‐diffusion equation on an hexagonal grid. The difference scheme is defined on a single regular hexagon of size h over a seven‐point stencil. Numerical experiments are conducted to verify the high accuracy of the derived scheme, and to compare it with the standard second‐order central difference scheme. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
