    1. Define Control Volume.

    A closed volume drawn within a finite region of the flow. This volume is defines as control volume,
    V.
    2. Define Well posed problems.
    Therefore, we define a well-posed 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.
    3. Define Finite Element Method.
    The finite element method (FEM) is a numerical technique for solving partial differential equations
    (PDE’s).
    4. What is the formulation of the FVM?
    It is important that the conservation laws in their integral form are represented accurately. The most
    natural method to accomplish this is to discretize the integral form of the equations and not the
    differential form. This is the basis of a finite volume method.
    5. What is CFD?
    CFD is the simulation of fluids engineering systems using modeling (mathematical physical problem
    formulation) and numerical methods (discretization methods, solvers, numerical parameters, and grid
    generations, etc.)
    6. What are the commercial software’s for CFD?
    PHOENICS
    FLUENT
    FLOW3D
    STAR-CD
    7. Define Finite Difference Method.

    The unknowns φ at each grid point are approximated by using Taylor series expansion of the
    derivatives of φ. Discretise the governing differential equations directly; e.g.
    8. Define Convergence.
    Convergence is a property of a numerical method to produce a solution which approaches the exact
    solution as the grid spacing is reduced to zero.
    9. What does governing equations of fluid flow represent?
    The governing equations of fluid flow represent mathematical statements of the conservation laws of
    physics.

    • The mass of fluid is conserved


    • The rate of change of momentum equals the sum of the forces on a fluid particle (Newton’s second
    law)
    • The rate of change of energy is equal to the sum of the rate of heat addition to and the rate of work
    done on a fluid particle (first law of thermodynamics).

    10. Name the Body forces and Surface.

    Surface Forces: Pressure Forces; Viscous Forces

    Body Forces: Gravity forces; Centrifugal forces; Coriolis forces; Electromagnetic forces.
