Summary

General equations describing transport of momenta and energy by advection–diffusion was given in Chapter 2 (see, also, Example 4.2.3) and will not be repeated here. It is important to note that the entire finite volume formulation is based on local one-dimensional representation in each coordinate direction. The flux crossing a control volume surface is represented using a one-dimensional formulation.
