Harvard AM205 video 3.18 - CFL condition & upwinding
Channel: Chris Rycroft
Date: 09/11/2020

Harvard Applied Math 205 is a graduate-level course on scientific computing and numerical methods. The previous video introduced the linear advection equation, an example of a hyperbolic partial differential equation (PDE). This video develops a finite-difference scheme for the advection equation, and shows that it must satisfy the Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy (CFL) condition in order to obtain stable results. The related concept of upwinding is also discussed.
