5 ideas, good and bad, in computational fluid dynamics
聽The goal of numerical analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations is to聽extend the accuracy, reliability and predictive ability of numerical聽simulations of fluid motion. This extension means improving the聽聽complexity (space, computational and cognitive) of current methods.聽
聽This talk will present 5 recent ideas, some good & some bad, and a key step in the mathematical foundation of each that have promise to do so. 聽 This聽 talk should be understandable by graduate students who have seen how to perform the basic energy estimate for the Navier-Stokes equations.
