Finite Volume Methods

Conservation laws, control volumes, and flux reconstruction.

This section focuses on Finite Volume Methods (FVM), the standard discretization technique for most commercial CFD solvers. The examples cover conservation laws, integration over control volumes, and face flux approximations.

Examples

1-D Linear Convection

Solve the linear convection equation using the finite volume method. Explores conservative form, cell averages, and numerical fluxes.

Planned Examples

  • Upwind, central, and MUSCL-style reconstruction
  • Pressure-velocity coupling algorithms
  • Incompressible and compressible flow prototypes
