In this project, the derivation of the Forward Time, Centered Space (FTCS) is also called the
explicit scheme and Backward Time, Centered Space (BTCS) is also called the implicit scheme
for solving one-dimensional, time-dependent diffusion equation with Neumann boundary
conditions are presented. The consistency, stability and convergence of these schemes are also
analyzed and thus the schemes are convergent. By taking the numerical examples convergence
rates of the schemes are determined using the maximum norm (
). To implement the
schemes for the numerical examples practically, a computer program (Matlab) is used. It is found
that both the Explicit and implicit schemes are first – order accurate in the spatial dimension
regardless of the actual order of the diffusion equation by the effect of the Neumann boundary
conditions. |
