MFE solve for velocity and pressure

simultaneously, resulting in a more
accurate velocity field than for
finite differences and standard
finite elements.

A continuously defined velocity

field is obtained only for MFE
method.

For the others methods, such as:

FD,FEM, FV(MPFA-CVFE) methods
one must use an interpolation
scheme to determine the velocity
from the discrete fluxes at the cell
edges (Haegland et. al. 2007)
