Subject: Computation Webinar | Genuinely Multi-Dimensional Numerical Scheme for Conservation Laws, 28 October 2025 Online
On 28 October 2025, MDPI and Computation (ISSN: 2079-3197) will host a
webinar titled “Genuinely Multi-Dimensional Numerical Scheme for
Conservation Laws”.
Link：https://sciforum.net/event/computation-2
This special webinar will introduce a new numerical approach for
solving the hyperbolic partial differential equations of conservation
laws. Traditionally, the numerical methods were based on a
one-dimensional concept, on the Riemann solution. Even though this was
quite successful, it requires a relatively fine grid to resolve
genuinely two-dimensional features like one has in the onset of
turbulent flow.
Some 10 years ago, Phil Roe introduced a new concept for the numerical
solution of these PDEs. It still is a finite volume method, but it
borrowed some ideas from finite element theory, combining them in an
innovative way. This webinar’s speakers will give a glimpse of this
method as well as how far along it has come up to today.
Date: 28 October 2025
Time: 3:00 p.m. CET | 10:00 a.m. EDT
If you are unable to attend, feel free to register nonetheless; we
will inform you once a recording of the webinar becomes available.
Webinar Chair and Keynote Speakers:
Prof. Christian Klingenberg, Wuerzburg University, Germany;
Dr. Wasilij Barsukow, Imperial College, London, UK;
Dr. Junming Duan, Wuerzburg University, Germany.
