    2 - The Finite Volume Method For Diffusion Problems

    Uploaded by

    Abaziz Mousa OutlawZz
    The document discusses the finite volume method (FVM) for solving diffusion problems in 1D, 2D and 3D. For 1D problems, it describes how the transport equation can be discretized on a control volume grid by approximating derivatives as fluxes between grid points. This leads to a system of linear equations that can be solved for the unknown variable (φ) at each point. It provides examples of applying FVM to steady 1D heat conduction problems with and without internal heat generation. It also briefly outlines how FVM can be extended to 2D and 3D diffusion problems on control volume grids.
