Computation Webinar | Genuinely Multi-Dimensional Numerical Scheme for Conservation Laws, 28 October 2025


On 28 October 2025, MDPI and Computation (ISSN: 2079-3197) will host a webinar titled “Genuinely Multi-Dimensional Numerical Scheme for Conservation Laws”.

This special webinar will introduce a new numerical approach for solving the hyperbolic partial differential equations of conservation laws. Traditionally, the numerical methods were based on a one-dimensional concept, on the Riemann solution. Even though this was quite successful, it requires a relatively fine grid to resolve genuinely two-dimensional features like one has in the onset of turbulent flow.

Some 10 years ago, Phil Roe introduced a new concept for the numerical solution of these PDEs. It still is a finite volume method, but it borrowed some ideas from finite element theory, combining them in an innovative way. This webinar’s speakers will give a glimpse of this method as well as how far along it has come up to today.
