Innovations in Modeling and Numerical Methods for Evolutionary PDEs: Theory and Applications

This special issue focuses on the modern enhancements introduced for the numerical solution of evolutionary PDEs of interest in a wide range of physical relevant situations as computational fluid and solid mechanics, oceanography, plasma physics, material science, mathematical biology and computational astrophysics. Evolutionary PDEs are characterized by many computational difficulties due to the huge range of involved space and time scales and the complex mathematical structure behind their behavior, thus their solution remains still a major challenge nowadays. Here, advanced mathematical models and advanced numerical algorithms for their robust and effective solution will be presented, with a particular interest for modern high order schemes on Cartesian or unstructured grids, structure preserving numerical methods and PDE models, Lagrangian methods, mesh generation and optimization techniques, kinetic methods, and challenging realistic applications.

Proceedings of 19th ICMMES, 2023

This SI is collection of contributions by the participants of the 19th International Conference for Mesoscopic Methods in Science and Engineering, held in Mount Qing-Cheng, Chengdu, China, July 24—28, 2023. The papers in this SI cover a wide range of topics on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) related to numerical methodologies and their broad applications.

The focuses of the ICMMES are on the mesoscopic methods which differ from conventional CFD methods because they are all rooted in the Boltzmann equation and kinetic theory as opposed to the Navier-Stokes equations and continuum theory. In particular, the emphasis is on non-equilibrium flows, complex fluids including multi-component and multi-phase flows with interfaces.

Recent Progress in Quantum Algorithms for Fluid Dynamics

During the past two decades, the development of Quantum Computers and Quantum Algorithms has become a field of rising investment, business development, and research.

Quantum computing offers up to exponential advantage in computational complexity over classic computing but requires rethinking and redesigning the solution approach to exploit the underlying quantum mechanics.

While nowadays architectures are limited to proof-of-concept computations, quantum algorithm development has seen progress over a broad spectrum of application from quantum physics, biology, and chemistry to finance, and number theory.

The development of efficient quantum algorithms for fluid dynamics is gaining traction globally but still in an early, pioneering state.

The aim of the present special issue is to provide the research community with an up-to-date account of recent developments, associated research questions, and the upcoming challenges in quantum computational fluid dynamics.
