Abstract

A second-order accurate finite-difference scheme based on existing methods is proposed for the numerical solution of the one-dimensional Burgers equation. A stability condition is given under which the integration time step does not depend on the value of the viscous term. The numerical results produced by the scheme are compared with the exact solution of the Burgers equation.
