Finite Volume Method

The document discusses the finite volume method, which is a numerical method for solving problems involving fluid flow and heat transfer. It describes the basic steps of the method, which are to generate a grid, discretize the governing equations, and solve the discretized equations. It then provides three examples of applying the finite volume method to solve one-dimensional steady-state conduction problems with and without heat generation or convection.
