Partial Differential Equations
Finite volume methods are numerical techniques used for solving partial differential equations, especially those arising in fluid dynamics. They work by dividing the domain into a finite number of small volumes and applying the integral form of the conservation laws to these volumes, allowing for the calculation of fluxes across the volume boundaries. This approach is particularly effective for problems governed by the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe the motion of fluid substances.
