TLDR
In this article, a spectral element method was proposed for numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, where the computational domain is broken into a series of elements, and the velocity in each element is represented as a highorder Lagrangian interpolant through Chebyshev collocation points.

Two-Dimensional Multi-Domain Hybrid Spectral-WENO Methods for Conservation Laws

TL;DR: The main idea of the Hybrid scheme is to conjugate the spectral and WENO methods for solving problems with shock or high gradients such that the scheme adapts its solver spatially and temporally depending on the smoothness of the solution in a given subdomain.

Animation of Deformable Bodies with Quadratic Bézier Finite Elements

TL;DR: This article considers both integrating quadratic elements with conventional linear elements to achieve a computationally efficient adaptive-degree simulation framework as well as wholly quadratics elements for the simulation of nonlinear rest shapes for graphical animation of deformable bodies.

Advances in Computational Methods for Free-Surface Flows

TL;DR: In this article, a wide variety of mechanisms, including inhomogeneities or foreign matter in the coating solutions, disturbances induced by equipment vibration or uncontrolled air flow, various wetting phenomena, and flow instabilities that grow in a coating device but partially decay further downstream, almost exclusively arise from catastrophic hydrodynamic instabilities.

Experimental and numerical study on damage detection in an L-joint using guided wave propagation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered longitudinal and flexural wave propagation in a steel L-joint and compared the usefulness of axial and flexurant wave propagation for non-destructive damage detection for this typical structural component.

High-order Galerkin methods for scalable global atmospheric models

TL;DR: Three different high-order finite element methods are used to solve the advection problem-two implementations of a discontinuous Galerkin and a spectral element (high-order continuousGalerkin) method, which are shown to be easily and efficiently scaled across multiple-processor distributed memory machines.

Computational and experimental study of a captive annular eddy

TL;DR: In this article, the main flow and the captive eddy between it and the walls are analyzed, and it is concluded that the main role of the eddy is to shape the flow with a rather small energy exchange.
