Pure advection of a conservative scalar is relevant to several applications including two-phase flow. Successful numerical schemes must capture the sharp interface between the phases while maintaining a smooth (wrinkle-free) interfacial…

Classically, anisotropic surface wave tomography is treated as an optimisation problem where it proceeds through a linearised two-step approach. It involves the construction of 2D group or phase velocity maps for each considered period,…
Several methods for handling sloping fluid-solid interfaces with the elastic parabolic equation are tested. A single-scattering approach that is modified for the fluid-solid case is accurate for some problems but breaks down when the…
