A comprehensive performance analysis of the Finite Difference Method for the solution of Partial Differential Equations. Providing an in-depth understanding of; Finite Difference Methods, their applications, theoretical basis, the full derivation of Taylor Series Expansions and the construction of a working Computational Domain Grid System. Furthermore, detailing and showing how to effectively employ the Finite Difference Method, through the implementation of Finite Difference Schemes, to obtain accurate, stable and consistent numerical solutions for Partial Differential Equations, which model a multitude of varying dynamic processes. Moreover, it contains a detailed, thorough performance analysis investigation of three different Finite Difference Method schemes, when they are employed to obtain accurate numerical solutions for a fluid flow heat transfer process that is modelled by a first order Partial Differential Equation. These three schemes are the Forward-Time-Backwards-Space, Lax and Lax Wendroff Finite Difference Method schemes. Additionally, it explains the criteria that is required for optimal scheme stability, consistency and convergence. A brief breakdown of what the book contains;
