Abstract: The talk is devoted to the introduction to adaptive moving mesh methods for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. The three major components of moving mesh methods and common strategies for each component will be described. The basic mathematical principles for mesh adaptation and their application to moving mesh methods will also be discussed. Application examples will be presented.

 

About the Speaker: Dr. Weizhang Huang received his Bachelor's degree from Nanjing University in 1983 and PhD degree from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Institute of Applied Mathematics) in 1989. His recent research interest is in numerical analysis and scientific computing with emphasis on the numerical solution of partial differential equations. His research topics include mesh movement, mesh adaptation, anisotropic mesh generation and analysis, high order methods (collocation and spectral), geometric integration methods, and their applications.
