Method of Weighted Residuals:
Differential Equation : L 0
Approximate Solution :
On substitution into differential equation leaves a residual
R L( )
Make this residual small in some sense by proposing that
RWdx 0
where W is a weighting function and the integration is
performed over the domain of interest.

where nb = neighbour and the summation is to be done over all the
neighbours
For a given variable, same profile need not be used for all
aPTP aETE aW TW b
An increase in the value of T at neighbouring node lead to an
increase and not a decrease in value of T at that node.
Negative-slope linearization of the source term:
aP aE aW S P x
When the source term is linearized as S = + , the
coefficient must always be less than or equal to zero.

We require aP anb
for situations where the differential equation continues to
remain satisfied after a constant is added to dependent variable.
