    The document discusses numerical solutions to a partial differential equation using different timestep values and methods. For a timestep of 0.001 seconds, the velocity profiles generated by FTCS, Crank-Nicolson, and the analytical solution matched well. With a larger unstable timestep of 0.002 seconds, the FTCS method became unstable. Error graphs showed that for time intervals of 0.8 and 1.5 seconds, the error was almost zero for both FTCS and Crank-Nicolson, while at 0.15 seconds FTCS had positive error and Crank-Nicolson had negative error.

    The timestep that I used was 0.001 seconds. I got the following velocity profiles

    As we can see the profiles got using FTCS, Crank-Nicolson and the analytical solution match up
    very well.

    Also I checked the working of FTCS for timestep of 0.002 seconds(which doesn’t satisfy the
    stability condition) and this is the graph I got

    As expected the algorithm becomes unstable and blows up.

    Next I plotted the error graph for both the schemes at all three time intervals.
    We observe that the error is significantly less for t=0.8 and 1.5 seconds for both the
    schemes(almost equal to zero). FTCS has positive error at 0.15 secs and Crank-Nicolson has
    negative error at 0.15 secs.
