Abstract
In this course we will give an introduction to conservative short capturing numerical methods for solving multi-dimensional systems of conservation laws. High order accurate finite difference, finite volume and discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods will be covered. We will start with the basic algorithm issues in a simple scalar one dimensional setting and then describe the generalization to multi-dimensional systems. A comparison among these different numerical methods will be provided. Lecture References: [1] C.-W.
