Given a complex fluid domain with various shapes, if you were to choose a discretization method, which one would you select and why? Discuss the advantages of your chosen method.
💡 Hint: Consider the geometry when making your choice.
If P1 = 100, P2 = 130, x1 = 2, and x2 = 6, calculate dp/dx using the Finite Difference Method. What does this signify in your fluid dynamics model?
💡 Hint: Refer back to the formula for Finite Difference.
