Which of these theorems is used to transform the general diffusion term into boundary based integral in the FVM?(a) Gauss divergence theorem(b) Stokes’ theorem(c) Kelvin-Stokes theorem(d) Curl theoremI had been asked this question in class test.My question is based upon FVM for 1-D Steady State Diffusion in chapter Diffusion Problem of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) Gauss divergence theorem

To explain: The general diffusion term is div(Γ gradΦ). INTEGRATING for the finite volume METHOD, it becomes

∫CV div(Γ gradΦ)dV

Applying the Gauss divergence theorem,

∫A\(\vec{n}.\)(Γ gradΦ)dA

This is the boundary BASED integration as the boundaries will be AREAS.
