Abstract: | A residual method of finite differencing the governing differential equation for the elliptic transport problem is presented. The new finite differencing technique is applied to (1) the one-dimensional transport problem and (2) the cavity flow problem for numerical illustrations. The results indicate the validity of the residual method of finite differencing. The usual method of term-by-term finite differencing, and considerations such as central differencing, hybrid differencing and upwind differencing are not needed in the present residual method. |
