A Comparative Study of Finite Volume Method and Finite Difference Method for Convection-Diffusion Problem

چکیده
Now-a-days computational fluid mechanics has become very vital area in which obtained governing equations are differential equations. Sometimes, these governing equations cannot be easily solved by existing analytical methods. Due to this reason, we use various numerical techniques to find out approximate solution for such problems. Among these techniques, finite volume method is also being used for solving these governing equations here we are describing comparative study of Finite volume method and finite difference method.

In this paper, a modification of finite integration method (FIM) is combined with the radial basis function (RBF) method to solve a time-fractional convection-diffusion equation with variable coefficients. The FIM transforms partial differential equations into integral equations and this creates some constants of integration. Unlike the usual FIM, the proposed method computes constants of integ...
