This document contains questions about computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and partial differential equations. It asks which models directly give partial differential equations, where in CFD partial differential equations are encountered, and the primary method used in CFD to solve partial differential equations, which is discretization. It also asks about the form equations take after discretization and the essential components needed to solve partial differential equations, like boundary conditions. Further questions cover specifics of continuity, momentum, and types of partial differential equations. It distinguishes analytical from numerical methods and covers variable separation.
