.. _api_FiniteVolume:
Finite Volume
*************
Any numerical implementation requires the discretization of continuous
functions into discrete approximations. These approximations are typically
organized in a mesh, which defines boundaries, locations, and connectivity. Of
specific interest to geophysical simulations, we require that averaging,
interpolation and differential operators be defined for any mesh. In SimPEG,
we have implemented a staggered mimetic finite volume approach (`Hyman and
Shashkov, 1999 <http://math.lanl.gov/~mac/papers/numerics/HS99B.pdf>`_). This
approach requires the definitions of variables at either cell-centers, nodes,
faces, or edges as seen in the figure below.
