TIME: 3:30 PM LOCATION: GMCS 314 SPEAKER: Jose Castillo, San Diego State University, Computational Science Research Center ABSTRACT: It is well known that the inviscid Burgers equation poses several numerical challenges when used in modeling fluid flows and gas dynamics. The non-linear equation leads to sharp discontinuities or shocks as the initial condition evolves over […]
