Journal of Computational Mathematics, Vol. 35, No. 2 (March 2017), pp. 121-151 (31 pages) The Entropy-Ultra-Bee scheme was developed for the linear advection equation and extended to the Euler system ...

Thermodynamic spontaneity—whether a reaction can go—can be measured by changes in either of two parameters: entropy or free energy. These concepts are abstract and can be somewhat difficult to ...

The vanishing viscosity limit of nonconservative hyperbolic systems depends heavily on the specific form of the viscosity. Numerical approximations, such as the path consistent schemes of [C. Parés, ...

The universe is getting more disordered, entropy is growing -- this is the second law of thermodynamics. But according to quantum theory, entropy should actually stay the same. Scientists took a ...
