Hybrid Gas-Kinetic Methods used to Obtain High Resolution Schemes for Compressible Flows

Abstract: This talk deals with the development and use of high resolution schemes. The schemes are created by using either kinetic theory and/or basic calculus. The schemes are used to solve and simulate one and two dimensional compressible flows around bluff bodies and to capture shocks. The ideas of Ohwada et al, Xu et al, Prendergast, and others are used to formulate these schemes.
