Stability analysis of the explicit Euler, backward Euler and Crank-Nicholson finite differences methods for solving the generalised Burgers equation using Fourier (von-Neumann) method is studied. The results demonstrated that the forward Euler scheme is conditionally stable, while Crank-Nicholson and implicit schemes are unconditionally stable.
