Numerical diffusion causes __________(a) smearing of sharp gradients(b) oscillations(c) undershoots and overshoots(d) inaccuracyThe question was asked in final exam.Asked question is from Convection-Diffusion Problems in section Convection-Diffusion Problems of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer»

Right answer is (a) smearing of SHARP gradients

The best explanation: The SOURCES of NUMERICAL errors CAUSED by the convection flux can be divided into two – numerical diffusion and numerical DISPERSION. The numerical diffusion leads to smearing of sharp gradients.
