A finite difference scheme was used to obtain solutions to a two dimensional CouetteFlow problem with applied pressure gradients. The solution to the non dimensionalizedCouette Flow problem was then obtained via Implicit methods and the results were subsequently validated with the analytical solution of the same problem. Finite difference scheme used returned satisfactory results under varying input conditions and was successfully validated on the Couette Flow problem through comparison with the analytical solution.
