TLDR
In this article, the main goal is to describe operator splitting methods for the solution of time dependent differential equations, and to discuss their application to the numerical solution of nonlinear problems such as the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible viscous fluids, the linear eigenvalue problem, the Hartree equation for the Helium atom, and finally to the non-convex problem from the calculus of variations associated to the physics of liquid crystals.

An optimum spacing problem for three chips mounted on a vertical substrate in an enclosure

TL;DR: In this paper, the optimum spacing problem for three heated chips mounted on a conductive substrate in a two-dimensional enclosure filled with air is solved by an operator-splitting pseudo-timestepping finite element method, which automatically satisfies the continuity of the interfacial temperature and heat flux.

Modelling and numerical simulation of low-mach-number compressible flows

TL;DR: In this paper, a segregated time-marching solution scheme is proposed for solving the low-Mach-number flow model with the acoustic waves being filtered out, which does not rely on the correction for global mass conservation to maintain solution accuracy.
