Questions in CFD - II





What is the meaning of monitoring curves? How is the numerical procedure terminated? What are solution errors? How is a computational solution assessed to be correct, numerically accurate and physically meaningful? When dealing with more complex flow problems, are there any other available methods/techniques or practical experiences or general guidelines that can assist in overcoming convergence difficulties? Are there any additional illustrative examples using CFD and how the solution can be better analyzed? What are the future advancements in CFD?
