Which of these terms cause instability in the Crank-Nicolson scheme when used for finite volume approach?(a) Anti-diffusion term(b) Anti-dispersive term(c) Diffusion term(d) Dispersive termThis question was posed to me in an online quiz.Query is from Transient Flows in portion Transient Flows of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer»

The correct option is (d) DISPERSIVE term

Easy EXPLANATION: By expanding the results of the Crank-Nicolson SCHEME USING the Taylor series EXPANSION, the scheme is proved to be a second-ordered scheme. The third-ordered term omitted here is a dispersive term causing instabilities.
