Master the math behind accurate simulations of shock waves and fluid flows.
This book introduces high-resolution numerical schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws. It focuses on how entropy conditions and careful discretization improve the reliability and clarity of computed solutions for complex flows.
The discussion blends theory with practical algorithms. It explains how to design finite-difference schemes that are both stable and high‑resolution, capable of capturing sharp features like shocks without sacrificing accuracy in smooth regions. Examples show how different schemes behave on classic problems, from scalar equations to the Euler equations of gas dynamics.
Ideal for readers of numerical analysis, applied physics, and engineering who want a rigorous, implementation‑oriented treatment.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a new class of second-order accurate finite difference schemes for solving hyperbolic conservation laws. The author develops a methodology to convert low-order schemes to high-order schemes with desirable properties, such as high resolution and preservation of monotonicity. These new schemes are particularly effective in solving problems with discontinuities, making them useful for modeling phenomena such as shock waves and contact discontinuities. The author also provides a detailed discussion of the theoretical background of these schemes, including their convergence properties and consistency with entropy conditions. The significance of this book's insights lies in providing a powerful new tool for simulating complex fluid dynamics problems with high accuracy and efficiency.
