Discretisation of Diffusive Term
1. Description
A control volume in mesh is made up of set of faces enclosing it. The figure 1.1 shows a typical situation. Where A represent the magnitude of area of the face. And n represents the normal unit vector of the face under consideration.

- and are position vector of centroids of cells cell 0 and cell 1 respectively.
2. Approach 1
We define vector
