Topics on spatially high-order accurate methods and preconditioning for the Navier-Stokes equations with finite-rate chemistry

This dissertation discusses two aspects of computational fluid dynamics: high order spatial accuracy and convergence-rate acceleration through system preconditioning. Concerning high-order accuracy, the computational qualities of various spatial methods for the finite-volume solution of the Euler eq...
