## Discretization on unstructured grids for inhomogeneous, anisotropic media. I: Derivation of the methods.(English)Zbl 0951.65080

Space discretization methods are considered for conservation laws with a flux term defined by the gradient law. A control volume formulation is recalled. Flux-conservative discretization methods are developed for unstructured triangular and polygonal grids in two space dimensions. Following special cases are considered in details: $$K$$-orthogonal grids when the 2-point approximation of the flux is available; for homogeneous media explicit formulas for transmissibilities (i.e.coefficients in the scheme corrsponding to nodes except of the cell center) are given; for the inhomogeneous case with no flow boundary conditions formulas for transmissibilities close by the boundaries are obtained.
