Similarity and Finite Difference Solution on Biomagnetic Flow and Heat Transfer of Blood-Fe3O4 through a Thin Needle by Abdulaziz Alsenafi, M. Ferdows

“…The system of nondimensional equations is then solved numerically using a finite difference method. By analyzing the results, we find that the axial flow decreases for the ferromagnetic number, magnetic field number, and Eckert number, while the temperature increases with volume fraction, where the size of the needle plays a significant role. …”

A characteristics approach to shock formation in 2D Euler with azimuthal symmetry and entropy by Isaac Neal, Steve Shkoller, Vlad Vicol

“…The novelty of this work relative to [1] is that we herein consider a much larger class of initial data, allow for a non-constant initial entropy, allow for a non-trivial sub-dominant Riemann variable, and introduce a host of new identities to avoid apparent derivative loss due to entropy gradients. The method of proof is also new and robust, exploring the transversality of the three different characteristic families to transform space derivatives into time derivatives. …”
