I am trying to write a program using FORTRAN to solve the following CFD problem:
du/dt = alpha * ( d^2u/dx^2 + d^2u/dy^2 )
using the 3 methods mentioned above. I would like to know what is the characteristics of each method used under the same circumstances by making comparison among them.
Also, the program that I have written shows the longest time for FTCS method to be calculated compared to the others. FTCS being the simplest method among the 3 methods, but how come it takes longer?
Can anybody help...?
