The error due to the discretization of the partial differential equation is called as ______________(a) round-off error(b) discretization error(c) truncation error(d) iteration errorI have been asked this question in a job interview.This interesting question is from Discretization Aspects topic in chapter Basic Aspects of Discretization, Grid Generation with Appropriate Transformation of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer»

The correct answer is (c) truncation error

For explanation I would SAY: Truncation error ARISES when partial differential equations are APPROXIMATED. Usually, the partial differential equations are approximated using a SERIES expansion of infinite terms. The higher order terms are cut-off while approximating this series. So, it is called truncation error.
