Unsteady Heat Conduction: A Comparative CFD Analysis of Time-Stepping Schemes

This project was done as part of Prof. Dilip Sundaram's CFD course at IITGn. This project numerically approximated the two-dimensional unsteady heat conduction equation using Finite Difference Method across three distinct time-stepping schemes: explicit, implicit, and Crank-Nicolson. A clear comparison of their stability, efficiency, and progression to a steady state was provided, revealing the strengths of advanced implicit methods.
