CFL Condition: A Comprehensive Guide to Stability in Numerical Simulation
The CFL condition, named after Courant, Friedrichs and Lewy, is a fundamental stability criterion that governs how we advance solutions in time for many partial differential equations (PDEs). Whether you are modelling waves, pollutants dispersing in air, or heat flowing through a solid, the CFL condition sets the pace: it tells you how small your…
