Xiangxiong Zhang, Department of Mathematics, Purdue University Monotonicity in high order accurate schemes for diffusion operators with applications to compressible Navier-Stokes equations For gas dynamics equations such as compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, preserving the positivity of density and pressure without losing conservation is crucial to stabilize the numerical computation...
Challenges and insights from the application of spectral/hp methods to problems in computation medicine Spectral/hp element methods for discretizing engineering-based PDE problems have been lauded for combining geometric (meshing) flexibility with superior convergence behavior. Since their inception in the 1980s, there has been growing interest in their development and usage...
