Welcome to the 2D-Heat-Convection-by-FDM wiki!
This program solves for the 2-D fluid convection in a Box due to an initial temperature perturbation using finite difference method over a regular grid.
For simplicity, the fluid is assumed is assumed incompressible, Newtonian and slowly convecting. The modified Stokes (1 and 2 ), Continuity Equation (3) and convection are:

Our code itself has no internal knowledge of units. which means the user has the freedom to choose a preferred units system, as long as they are consistent. Also, the user may have to scale the units to make the solver work.
