Multiscale Methods for Conservation Laws

10:30 AM-12:30 PM
Room: Rio Mar 7

Wavelet decompositions provide a basic tool for developing high performance large-scale computer simulations. Fast multiscale or multiresolution (MR) methods use the wavelet decomposition of the solution to identify regions of large variations. The underlying scheme is then applied only to those regions, leading to a compressed form of the numerical operator. Multiscale methods have been shown to considerably speed up 1-D and 2-D structured grid computations, and very recently, on unstructured grids in 3-D as well. From an applications' perspective, it holds great promise to be a viable alternative to traditional adaptive gridding methods. The speakers in this session will present current trends in both research and applications of the multiscale methods to conservation laws, with special emphasis placed on unstructured grid computations.
