Challenges in scientific computing

This book is a collection of conference proceedings mainly concerned with the problem class of nonlinear transport/diffusion/reaction systems, chief amongst these being the Navier-Stokes equations, porous-media flow problems and semiconductor-device equations. Of particular interest are unsolved problems which challenge open questions from applications and assess the various numerous methods used to treat them. A fundamental aim is to raise the overall awareness of a broad range of topical issues in scientific computing and numerical analysis, including multispecies/multiphysics problems, discretisation methods for nonlinear systems, mesh generation, adaptivity, linear algebraic solvers and preconditioners, and portable parallelisation.
