1. List the components of CFD software and briefly provide details on each component.

2. Explain briefly what discritisation means.

3. Consider the function (x ) = ex+1. at x = 1.


a. Calculate the exact values of / x at this point.
b. Use first order forward differencing with x = 0.1, to calculate the approximate value
of / x.
c. Use first order backward differencing with x = 0.1 to calculate the approximate
value of / x .
d. Use second order central differencing with x = 0.1 to calculate the approximate
value of / x .
e. Calculate the percentage of error of b, c, and d above compared with the exact
solution in a above.
