TDMA and PDMA are particularly suitable for _____________(a) Cartesian grid problems(b) Curvilinear grid problems(c) Unstructured grid problems(d) Structured grid problemsThis question was posed to me at a job interview.Question is from Numerical Methods in division Numerical Methods of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer»

Correct option is (d) Structured grid problems

Explanation: When a structured grid is used for discretization, it RESULTS in a coefficient matrix with its non-zero ELEMENTS aligning along a few diagonals. The NUMBER of non-zero diagonals DEPENDS on the discretization stencil and the dimension of the problem. So, TDMA and PDMA are suitable to solve this kind of banded matrix.
