A Comparison between Finite Volume Method and Finite Element Method

Jiahui Sun

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

As the same as finite element method,the finite volume method is also a numerical method for solving partial differential equations.Compared with finite element method,the finite volume method maintains the local conservation properties of physical quantities and has a simpler calculation.This article mainly introduces some similarities and differences between finite volume method and finite element method.
