A new finite-difference scheme for parabolic differential equations
Suhas V. Patankar,B. R. Baliga +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Crank-Nicolson scheme, although unconditionally stable in the mathematical sense, produces physically unrealistic solutions when the time step is large, and a new scheme is presented that is satisfactory for the entire range of time steps.
