Finite Volumes for Complex Applications III (v. 3)

Papers from a June 2002 symposium report on theoretical and numerical results in the field related to areas such as adaptivity in space and time and higher order discretization, and detail physical applications in areas including multiphase flow and flows through porous media, elastic structures, and image processing. Papers are arranged in sections on numerical analysis, innovative methods, applications, and adaptivity, efficiency, and performance. Some specific topics include a new mixed finite volume method, grid aligned h-box methods for conservation laws in complex geometries, and multidimensional bicharacteristic finite volume methods for shallow water equations. The book is distributed in the US by Stylus Publishing. There is no subject index. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
