The surface area of the face of a 3-D element is a _____________(a) 3-D tensor(b) 2-D tensor(c) Scalar(d) VectorI got this question in homework.Asked question is from The Geometry of FVM Elements topic in chapter Finite Volume Methods of Computational Fluid Dynamics |

Answer» CORRECT choice is (d) Vector To explain: The surface area of the face of a 3-D element is a vector with the area as its MAGNITUDE and pointing in a direction. This direction decides if the face points OUTWARDS or inwards. Moreover, the area is the RESULT of the cross product of TWO vectors which will again be a vector. |
