1, 0.5)

Properties of Crank-Nicholson Scheme

Linear algebraic set at current time level – need linear
solver

When steady state is reached, P= 0P. In this limit,
steady discrete equations are recovered.
» Steady state does not depend on history of time
stepping
» Will get the same answer in steady state by time
marching as solving the original steady state
equations directly
Will show later that truncation error is O (t2)

Crank-Nicholson scheme can be shown to be
unconditionally stable. But if time step is too large, we
can obtain oscillatory solutions

Cell centroid value () = ()P at both time levels
» Same as the mean value approximation
» Second-order approximation

Source term at (1) prevails over time step

What is the truncation error of these two
approximations?

Consider a variable S(t) which we want to integrate
over the time step:
