hi all,

At the risk of sounding very silly, could anyone help me out with what the 'a' is equal to in these equations:

Many thanks.

Starting from some grid, you apply FVM and discretization schemes to each cell. For implicit schemes you end up with a linear system of equations that need to be solved. The a's are the coefficients in this linear system, i.e. the elements in the matrix. Your choice of schemes will change the exact value of a's but the general method remains the same. You always get a linear system.

Nice! thanks for that. Do you have any easy to understand (as much as is possible) examples?

An easy way to get a feel for it is to look at the classical problems and these are advection or diffusion problems. See for example a 1d and 2d example in Crank-Nicolson. Navier-Stokes is just a teeny bit more complicated with the pressure gradient, which calls for a scheme such as simple, and also having both an advection and diffusion term, which you can imagine is just like summing two matrices.

Thanks for that, if you do come across any good illustrated examples let me know.
