Many complex physical processes in engineering and technology can be modelled as systems of ordinary or partial differential equations. Examples of area where such differential models arise are ubiquitous e.g., multiphase flow, shape optimization, fluid flow control, gas-dynamics, finance, industrial mixing processes and biological processes etc. It is desired as well a need to better understand such complex physical processes through the solution of such differential equations model. It leads to futher refinement and development of new mathematical models along with the solution techniques. These solution technique can be analytical or computational in nature.
This special issue on Nonlinear differential equations – theory, computations and applications of CMES focuses on advances on the numerical techniques, finite-element and finite difference methods for specific ordinary and partial differential equations along with dynamical systems arising in fluid mechanics and fluid dynamics.
