Main research areas
The Numerical Analysis group is headed by Philipp Öffner and deals with the numerics of ordinary and partial differential equations, in particular for hyperbolic conservation equations. The problems considered come mainly from fluid mechanics.
Research interests
- Numerical methods for compressible and incompressible flows
- Time integration methods
- Uncertainty quantification
- Approximation theory
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
- Data-driven approaches that combine analysis and data
- Scientific Machine Learning and Scientific Computing
