30-515: A semi-discrete numerical scheme for the above problem with cell centers indexed as i {\displaystyle i} , and with cell edge fluxes indexed as i ± 1 / 2 {\displaystyle i\pm 1/2} , by differentiating ( 6 ) with respect to time to obtain: where values for the edge fluxes, f i ± 1 / 2 {\displaystyle f_{i\pm 1/2}} , can be reconstructed by interpolation or extrapolation of

60-427: A vector of states and f {\displaystyle \mathbf {f} } represents the corresponding flux tensor. Again we can sub-divide the spatial domain into finite volumes or cells. For a particular cell, i {\displaystyle i} , we take the volume integral over the total volume of the cell, v i {\displaystyle v_{i}} , which gives, On integrating

75-550: Is well behaved and that we can reverse the order of integration. Also, recall that flow is normal to the unit area of the cell. Now, since in one dimension f x ≜ ∇ ⋅ f {\displaystyle f_{x}\triangleq \nabla \cdot f} , we can apply the divergence theorem , i.e. ∮ v ∇ ⋅ f d v = ∮ S f d S {\displaystyle \oint _{v}\nabla \cdot fdv=\oint _{S}f\,dS} , and substitute for

90-413: The finite difference methods , which approximate derivatives using nodal values, or finite element methods , which create local approximations of a solution using local data, and construct a global approximation by stitching them together. In contrast a finite volume method evaluates exact expressions for the average value of the solution over some volume, and uses this data to construct approximations of

105-549: The flux or flow of ρ {\displaystyle \rho } . Conventionally, positive f {\displaystyle f} represents flow to the right while negative f {\displaystyle f} represents flow to the left. If we assume that equation ( 1 ) represents a flowing medium of constant area, we can sub-divide the spatial domain, x {\displaystyle x} , into finite volumes or cells with cell centers indexed as i {\displaystyle i} . For

120-457: The cell averages. Equation ( 7 ) is exact for the volume averages; i.e., no approximations have been made during its derivation. This method can also be applied to a 2D situation by considering the north and south faces along with the east and west faces around a node. We can also consider the general conservation law problem, represented by the following PDE , Here, u {\displaystyle \mathbf {u} } represents

135-514: The cell volume, [ x i − 1 / 2 , x i + 1 / 2 ] {\displaystyle \left[x_{i-1/2},x_{i+1/2}\right]} and divide the result by Δ x i = x i + 1 / 2 − x i − 1 / 2 {\displaystyle \Delta x_{i}=x_{i+1/2}-x_{i-1/2}} , i.e. We assume that f   {\displaystyle f\ }

150-427: The edge fluxes can be reconstructed by interpolation or extrapolation of the cell averages. The actual numerical scheme will depend upon problem geometry and mesh construction. MUSCL reconstruction is often used in high resolution schemes where shocks or discontinuities are present in the solution. Finite volume schemes are conservative as cell averages change through the edge fluxes. In other words, one cell's loss

165-459: The first term to get the volume average and applying the divergence theorem to the second, this yields where S i {\displaystyle S_{i}} represents the total surface area of the cell and n {\displaystyle {\mathbf {n} }} is a unit vector normal to the surface and pointing outward. So, finally, we are able to present the general result equivalent to ( 8 ), i.e. Again, values for

210-718: The upstream and downstream faces or edges respectively of the i th {\displaystyle i^{\text{th}}} cell. Integrating equation ( 1 ) in time, we have: where f x = ∂ f ∂ x {\displaystyle f_{x}={\frac {\partial f}{\partial x}}} . To obtain the volume average of ρ ( x , t ) {\displaystyle \rho \left(x,t\right)} at time t = t 2 {\displaystyle t=t_{2}} , we integrate ρ ( x , t 2 ) {\displaystyle \rho \left(x,t_{2}\right)} over
