What is the source of discretization error in the finite difference method?(a) Numerical error(b) Round-off error(c) Truncation error(d) Modelling errorI had been asked this question in exam.The doubt is from Errors in Finite Difference Approximations topic in division Finite Difference Methods of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer»

Correct choice is (c) TRUNCATION error

Explanation: Discretization error OCCURS because of the truncation errors which ARISE while discretizing the PDES. It is NAMED truncation error as the root cause of it is the truncation of the higher order terms in the series expansion.
