+    second_derivative(grid::EquidistantGrid, inner_stencil, closure_stencils, direction)
+
+Creates the second-derivative operator `D2` as a `TensorMapping`
+
+`D2` approximates the second-derivative d²/dξ² on `grid` along the coordinate dimension specified by
+`direction`, using the stencil `inner_stencil` in the interior and a set of stencils `closure_stencils`
+for the points in the closure regions.
+
+On a one-dimensional `grid`, `D2` is a `VolumeOperator`. On a multi-dimensional `grid`, `D2` is the outer product of the
+one-dimensional operator with the `IdentityMapping`s in orthogonal coordinate dirrections.
+Also see the documentation of `SbpOperators.volume_operator(...)` for more details.
