  2. 1. Stable High-Order Finite Difference Methods for Aerodynamics

    Author : Magnus Svärd; Jan Nordström; Thomas Hagstrom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; finite difference methods; high-order accuracy; summation-by-parts; stability; energy estimates; finite volume methods; Numerical analysis; Numerisk analys; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap; Numerical Analysis;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the numerical solution of time-dependent partial differential equations (PDE) is studied. In particular high-order finite difference methods on Summation-by-parts (SBP) form are analysed and applied to model problems as well as the PDEs governing aerodynamics. READ MORE

    Abstract : Wave models are an important class of models that describe many diverse phenomena such as sound waves, fluid flow, and quantum mechanics. These models are often described mathematically as partial differential equations (PDE). Often these equations do not admit solutions on closed-form and then the only option to study them is numerical methods. READ MORE
