What Does FDM Stand For?
FDM stands for Finite Difference Method
The Finite Difference Method (FDM) is a numerical technique used for approximating solutions to differential equations by discretizing them into finite difference equations. This method replaces continuous derivatives with difference quotients, allowing for the analysis of various engineering and scientific problems, particularly in the fields of fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and structural analysis. FDM is characterized by its simplicity and effectiveness in handling boundary value and initial value problems.
