Stability analysis in 2D Unsteady heat conduction
1. The stability analysis is different with respect to both Implicit and Explicit method. 2. The explicit method is unstable for certain conditions which include Courant number. If the Courant number say, C = k*dt/(dx^2) is greater than 0.25, then the solution leads to instability. Shown below is an unstable graph.…

Introduction to CFD using Matlab and OpenFOAM
1. A is a row array of 5 numbers. 2. B is a column array of 5 numbers. 3. The solution is not possible since B is transposed to become row array and so, A*B becomes row * row which cannot be multiplied to obtain matrix. 4. The solution gives 5*5 matrix. 5. A(1: end) refers to elements in A array starting from element…
