(a) Continuous time varying results at discrete locations

(b) Discrete points of space and time

(c) Continuous spatial results at discrete time points

(d) Continuous in time and space

This question was posed to me in class test.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Philosophy topic in section Philosophy of Computational Fluid Dynamics of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) Discrete points of space and time

For explanation: CFD discretizes the equations and also the domain and solves the discretized equations for only the points in the discretized domain using numerical methods.
