Support Operator Method Properties

• It is conservative.
• Material discontinuities are treated rigorously.
• It generates a symmetric positive definite matrix.
• It is second-order accurate.
• It has both cell-centered and face-centered unknowns.
• It has a local stencil.
• It reduces to the standard differencing scheme if the mesh is orthogonal.
• It is not exact for linear functions.

The Morel-Hall asymmetric method does not share the properties specified in Blue above.
