Talk:MUSCL scheme

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Historical perspective

Maybe, it would be better to illustrate MUSCL more in original context of upwind Godunov schemes, as it is in famous van Leer's serial of papers, and not only in semi-discrete central Godunov schemes, which is quite new concept. But I also use it now in Kurganov-Tadmor variation. --Vladimír Fuka 17:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Possibly. I will think about it. Griffgruff 11:24, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proper citation

Proper style of citation in Harvard system (author, date) is not to repeat author's name in parenthesis when it is used in the sentence , for example: ... as shown by Godunov (1959) ... contrary to ... as shown in (Godunov, 1959) ... See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_system . If you don't mind, I will repair it. --Vladimír Fuka 16:54, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rusanov contribution

The Kurganov and Tadmor scheme starts with F* reconstruction using the local maximum of the flux jacobian . Isn't this exactly the same as the local Lax-Friedrichs method, originally described by Rusanov in J. Comp. Math. Phys. USSR, 1 (1961)? (Source: Randall J. LeVeque, Finite Volume Methods for Hyperbolic Problems, Cambridge Texts in Applied Mathematics, 2002, see pp. 232,233) --ArthurVanDam 15:25, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you are correct. In fact Kurganov and Tadmor acknowledge this in their paper. I will shortly add someting to this effect. Thank you for your feedback and kind comments on my talk page. Griffgruff 11:22, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Reference to Rusanov and local Lax-Friedrichs fluxes now included. Griffgruff 13:37, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
