Numerical methods use discretion which cause difference from exact solution due to round off
errors and simplification for physical modelling in numerical methods.
These differences can be improved by higher mesh densities, high grid quality, using high powered
computer and using exact model instead of simplified one.
b)
1) Residues
Convergence criteria
2) Monitoring point
Results not changing/ negligible difference in change
3) Mass, energy and scatter balance
Reaction combustion
Heat transfer radiation
Multiple phase flow
c) Double precision solver is recommended to reduce round off errors, this allows computers to
store twice the number of digits reducing the roundoff errors.

Simple technique works for steady state problem by finding the solution iteratively. The solutions
use small iterations of equations with residuals, the iteration are stopped when the residual is
smaller the initial convergence criteria.
