 Use of flux limiters, together with an appropriate high resolution scheme, make the solutions total variation diminishing (TVD).Note that flux limiters are also referred to as slope limiters because they both have the same mathematical form, and both have the effect of limiting the solution gradient near shocks or discontinuities.In general, the term flux limiter is used when the limiter acts on system "fluxes", and slope limiter is used when the limiter acts on system "states" (like pressure, velocity etc.
