Week 3 - Solving second order ODEs

Aim: What is Finite Volume Method(FVM), write down the major differences between FDM & FVM. Also, describe the need for interpolation schemes and flux limiters in FVM. You can use the 1D linear heat conduction equation as an example.  1. What is Finite Volume Method (FVM)? Ans- Finite volume method (FVM)…

To write a function that extracts the 14 co-efficients and calculates the enthalpy, entropy and specific heats for all the species in the data file. You will be reading…

AIM: MATLAB CODE to optimise the stalagmite function and find the global maxima of the function. THEORY: Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a search-based optimization technique based on the principles of Genetics and Natural Selection. It is frequently used to find optimal or near-optimal solutions to difficult…
