Flux-Corrected Transport (FCT) is a conservative numerical scheme for solving continuity and continuity-like equations which occur in hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics. It is especially used for solving problems involving shock or contact discontinuities. An FCT algorithm consists of two stages, a transport stage and a flux-corrected anti diffusion stage. The numerical errors introduced in the first stage(i.e the transport stage) is corrected by the diffusion stage.
