Research Interests
|
|
Russ Caflisch's research is on analysis and numerical methods for physical systems, in particular for special solutions and robust numerical methods in singular limits. For kinetics of fluids and plasmas, his results include analysis of the fluid limit and of shock wave solutions for the nonlinear Boltzmann equation, and accelerated simulation methods that are a hybrid of a continuum fluid solver and a Monte Carlo particle solver. For fluid dynamics, he analyzed the development of singularities |
