Answer:
Numerical Methods are mathematical way to solve certain problems.Whether the equations are linear or nonlinear, efficient and robust numerical methods are required to solve the system of algebraic equations.
Analytical solutions are exact solutions based on mathematical principles.
However, the governing partial differential equations of fluid flow are complex and cannot be solved by analytical means. The partial differential equations are therefore converted into a system of algebraic equations that are subsequently solved through numerical methods to provide approximate solutions to the governing equations.
Although we rarely reach on exact answer , we can get really close to the exact answer much quicker than solve analytically.
