As in the previous chapter, we shall consider only the generic conservation equation for a quantity φ and assume that the velocity field and all fluid properties are known. The finite volume method uses the integral form of the conservation equation as the starting point: 4.1$$\int_S \rho\phi\upsilon\,\cdot n\,{\text{d}}S = \int_S \Gamma\,{\text{grad}}\phi \cdot\,n\,{\text{d}}S + \int_{\Omega}\,q_{\phi}\,{\text{d}}\Omega.$$
