Define control volume and control surface.
A closed volume drawn within a finite region of the flow. This volume is defines
as a control volume, V.
2 2 CO1 U
The closed surface which bounds the volume. The control volume may be
fixed in space with the fluid moving through it; it is define as a control surface,
S.

What is finite volume method?
The finite volume method is a method for solving partial differential equations
7 like the Navier-Stokes equations in the form of algebraic equations. The 2 CO1 R
physical parameters are approximated at discrete nodes surrounded by finite
volumes within the problem domain.

List out the use of FVM and FDM
The FVM is a numerical method used to evaluate elliptic, parabolic or
hyperbolic partial differential equations in the form of algebraic equations, on
the basis of conservation laws.

In telecommunications, frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) is a technique
by which the total bandwidth available in a communication medium is divided
into a series of non-overlapping frequency bands, each of which is used to
carry a separate signal.

Define well-posed problems.
In the solution of partial differential equations it is sometimes easy to attempt a
solution using incorrect or insufficient boundary and initial conditions. Whether
the solution is being attempted analytically or numerically, such an ‘ill-posed’
problem will usually lead to spurious results. Therefore, we define a well-posed
11 2 CO1 R
problem as follows: If the solution to a partial differential equation exists and is
unique, and if the solution depends continuously upon the initial and boundary
conditions, then the problem is well-posed. In CFD, it is important that you
establish that your problem is well-posed before you attempt to carry out a
numerical solution.
