Why FVM for high-Re flows? - Page 2 -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

May 6, 1999, 02:32	Why FVM for high-Re flows?	#1
Zhong Lei Guest Posts: n/a	I can not understand completely why finite volume method (FVM) is more popular than finite difference method (FDM) in simulation of high-Re, especially for incompressible flows although FVM is less accurate and has a complex formulism. I think maybe, it is because FVM contains more physics than FDM. Is it right?
