The Finite Volume Method
‣ The most widely used method in CFD.Why?
- Very general, flexible
- can handle any type of grid
- Essential advantage: Conservative discretization
‣ Uses the Integral Formulation of the conservation laws

The FVM Discretization
‣ Divide the domain into many (small) sub-domains
‣ satisfy the conservation law in each sub-domain (finite volume)
