Fluent stores discrete values scalars at the cell centers, whereas face values are interpolated from the cell center values. Node values are explicitly defined or obtained by weighted averaging of the cell data. Various boundary conditions impose values of field variables at the domain boundaries, so mesh node values on these boundary zones are obtained by simple averaging of the adjacent boundary face data.
