Solution

The Finite Volume Method (FVM) is a method for solving differential equations that conserves quantities by integrating them over finite volumes, or subdomains of the problem domain. The conservation law is applied to these individual volumes.

The conservation law is expressed as: ∂∂t ˆΩU dΩ + ˛SF~·dS~ =ˆΩQ. This equation is applied to each individual volume in the domain, resulting in a system of equations.

There are two types of FVM based on the definition of the control volume:

  1. Cell-centered Finite Volume: In this method, the unknowns are stored or located at the centers of the mesh cells. The grid lines define the finite volumes and surfaces.

  2. Cell-Vertex Finite Volume: Also known as the vertex centered finite volume, in this method the unknown variables are stored at the vertex or nodes of the mesh. A control volume is defined around this node.

Different varieties of control volume definitions are possible for this type of scheme. The choice between cell-centered and cell-vertex methods depends on the specific problem and the desired level of accuracy.
