What is the order of the central difference for the mixed derivative \(\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x\partial y}\) while approximated using the Taylor series expansion?(a) 1(b) 2(c) 3(d) 4I got this question in final exam.The above asked question is from Finite Difference Method in division Finite Difference Methods of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer»

Right answer is (b) 2

To explain: The first term in the truncation error of the central difference for the MIXED DERIVATIVE \(\frac{\partial^2 U}{\partial x\partial y} \,is\, -(\frac{\partial^4 u}{\partial x^3 \partial y})\frac{(\Delta x)^2}{12}\). So, the order of ACCURACY is 2.
