Are the quations solved in FDM or FVM ? -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

anon Guest Posts: n/a	maybe a stupid question from newbie. A code solves Euler equation in curvilinear coordinates with Roe's approximate riemann solver. How can I judge it's solved in Finite Difference Method or Finite Volume Method? I mean are there any special manipulation in the procedure which I can find in source code to verify the method? Curvilinear coordinates are used together with FVM rarely and FDM frequently, right?
