Abstract
AbstractThe commonly accepted linear stability analysis for the forward‐time centred‐space (FTCS) algorithm applied to the transport equation has led to the concept of a cell Reynolds number restriction on the spatial grid size. This paper shows where the commonly accepted original analysis is in error and presents the correct stability restrictions, which are restrictions on the time step, not the spatial grid size. There is no cell Reynolds number restriction. The results are confirmed by numerical computations for the two‐dimensional driven cavity problem.
