The weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes are a popular class of high order numerical methods for hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs). While WENO schemes on structured meshes are quite mature, the development of finite volume WENO schemes on unstructured meshes is more difficult. A major difficulty is how to design a robust WENO reconstruction procedure to deal with d...

in this paper, the temperature distribution around a moving heat source had been investigated including the phase change and non phase change . in non-phase change state, the governing equation was converted to finite difference equation by finite volume method and the equation was solved by alternating direction implicit method. this method was unconditionally stable . in phase change state, t...

Let M be a complete Riemannian locally symmetric space of nonpositive curvature and of finite volume. We show that there are only finitely many compact maximal flats in M of volume bounded by a given number. As a corollary in the case M = SLn(Z)\ SLn(R)/ SOn, we give a different proof of a theorem of Remak that for any n ∈ N, there are only finitely many totally real number fields of degree n w...

In the study of ocean wave impact on structures, one often uses Froude scaling since the dominant force is gravity. However the presence of trapped or entrained air in the water can significantly modify wave impacts. When air is entrained in water in the form of small bubbles, the acoustic properties in the water change dramatically. While some work has been done to study small-amplitude distur...

The eigenvalues and eigenspaces of some discrete divand curl-related operators are investigated. The discrete operators give some good discrete analogues of the continuous counterparts and play an important role in developing finite volume schemes for solving div-curl equations and electromagnetic systems. Knowledge of the eigenvalues and eigenspaces is very useful in the numerical analysis of ...

We are interested in simulating blood flow in arteries with a one dimensional model. Thanks to recent developments in the analysis of hyperbolic system of conservation laws (in the Saint-Venant/ shallow water equations context) we will perform a simple finite volume scheme. We focus on conservation properties of this scheme which were not previously considered. To emphasize the necessity of thi...
