Abstract

In the previous chapter we saw that physical phenomena of interest to us can be described by a general scalar transport equation. In this chapter, we examine numerical methods for solving this type of equation and introduce the different numerical methods for mass transfer. We also explore how to characterize our numerical methods in terms of accuracy, consistency, stability, and convergence.
