Why Is Sergei Godunov Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Sergei Konstantinovich Godunov was a Soviet and Russian professor at the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Novosibirsk, Russia. Biography Godunov's most influential work is in the area of applied and numerical mathematics, particularly in the development of methodologies used in Computational Fluid Dynamics and other computational fields. Godunov's theorem : Linear numerical schemes for solving partial differential equations, having the property of not generating new extrema , can be at most first-order accurate. Godunov's scheme is a conservative numerical scheme for solving partial differential equations. In this method, the conservative variables are considered as piecewise constant over the mesh cells at each time step and the time evolution is determined by the exact solution of the Riemann problem at the inter-cell boundaries .
