Inverse problems in free surface flows: a review

M Sellier - Acta Mechanica, 2016 - Springer
Free surface flows occur frequently in our daily lives and many natural or industrial settings.
Our understanding of such flows has grown tremendously with progress in mathematical …

On the Fokas method for the solution of elliptic problems in both convex and non-convex polygonal domains

MJ Colbrook, N Flyer, B Fornberg - Journal of Computational Physics, 2018 - Elsevier
There exists a growing literature on using the Fokas method (unified transform method) to
solve Laplace and Helmholtz problems on convex polygonal domains. We show here that …
