AbstractChemically reacting flows have many applications in combustion. There are several difficulties in constructing high-order numerical methods: (1) Due to the rapid reaction rate, the system may contain stiff source terms. (2) The transition points near the shocks may trigger the stiff source leading to spurious shock speed. (3) Physically, the density, internal energy are positive, and th...
Description: The central-limit type results are universal in many random walk models: they are known as Donsker’s theorem for the classical Zd random walk, and also hold for some random walks in random environment, even when the environment is degenerate like percolation. In their proofs, the homogenization theory, which comes from PDE, plays an important role. This course will cover the follo...
