The title of the lecture: „Property-preserving finite element discretizations of nonlinear conservation laws“
Abstract: This talk is a review of modern algebraic flux correction tools for incorporating appropriate inequality constraints (such as positivity preservation) into finite element schemes for nonlinear hyperbolic problems. In particular, we present monolithic convex limiting (MCL) techniques for generic scalar equations, for the compressible Euler equations, and for incompressible flows of fiber suspensions. The validity of discrete maximum principles is enforced using representation of spatial semi-discretizations in terms of admissible intermediate states. If necessary, additional limiting is performed to achieve entropy stability. In our MCL schemes for systems, problem-dependent bounds are imposed on scalar functions of conserved variables to ensure physical and numerical admissibility of approximate solutions. We prove the claimed properties of our flux-corrected schemes, discuss relevant implementation details, and show numerical examples.
