Lax-Friedrichs

Lax–Friedrichs first-order numerical flux for 1D linear advection on a uniform Cartesian axis. For face-staggered Courant c the LF flux reduces to first-order upwinding F_{i+1/2} = max(c,0)·q_i + min(c,0)·q_{i+1}, with upwind cell selection encoded directly in an abs op (no caller-side branching on sign(c)).
