How can a node on an insulated boundary be treated as an interior node in the finite difference formulation of a plane wall? Explain.

What will be an ideal response?


A node on an insulated boundary can be treated as an interior node in the finite difference formulation of a plane wall by replacing the insulation on the boundary by a mirror, and considering the reflection of the medium as its extension. This way the node next to the boundary node appears on both sides of the boundary node because of symmetry, converting it into an interior node.
