Philipp Öffner
PD Dr. rer. nat.
Hi, my name is Philipp Öffner. Currently, I am working in the numerical analysis group at the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz.
Prior to JGU, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University Zurich, at the Technical University of Brunswick and substituted a professorship in Mainz.
In my research, I focus on the analysis and development of numerical methods for partial differential equations, especially for hyperbolic conservation/balance laws.
In particular, I am interested in stability properties, the preservation of physical constraints and convergence properties.
Research Interests
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
- Numerical Methods for Compressible and Incompressible Flows: Continuous and Discontinuous Galerkin, Flux Reconstruction, Residual Distribution Schemes
- Time Integration Schemes: Deferred Correction Methods, Runge-Kutta Schemes, ADER-Approach
- Approximation Theory
- Uncertainty Quantification in CFD
- Edge Detection and Shock Sensors
News:
- Yesterday (9.11.2021), I spoke about "Entropy Stable Residual Distribution schemes" at Darthmourth College (USA).
- My new preprint on "An Arbitrary High Order and Positivity Preserving Method for the Shallow Water Equations" with M. Ciallella, L. Micalizzi, and D. Torlo is out on Arxiv.
- From 18.10-29.10.2021, I am staying at Inria Bordeaux working with members of the Cardamom Team on numerical methods for Shallow Water equations.
- I participated in the Hirschegg Workshop (Austria) and gave the talk "Convergence of Discontinuous Galerkin Schemes for the Euler Equations via Dissipative Weak Solutions".
