    The authors present a new fully conservative discretization procedure, which has characteristics similar to those of upwind methods, but with the viscous terms included. Higher accuracy is achieved in the manner of the MUSCL scheme. The new procedure is an extension of Roscoe's work [\textit{D. F. Roscoe}, Int. J. Numer. Methods Eng. 10, 1299-1308 (1976; Zbl 0379.76021)] and others: the governing equations are integrated in their linearized form, which results in one-dimensional interpolating functions. In this discretization procedure, the upwinding is introduced in a natural fashion. The advantages of the new method are demonstrated by a detailed analysis of the discretization of the Burgers' equation, a stability analysis, and an analysis of constraints given by Neumann boundary conditions. Finally, the authors present a detailed simulation of a driven cavity flow. On the whole, an interesting, partly new approach to an old problem, which results in a promising numerical integration technique.
