Rationale

High order numerical methods are particularly effective for convection dominated problems. However they are very difficult to design, as convection dominated problems contain solutions of sharp gradients or even discontinuities. We will assemble a list of active researchers in high order methods for convection dominated problems and applications. The spectrum covered by the minisymposium ranges from algorithm development, analysis, to implementation and applications. A significant portion of the invited speakers will be young researchers. Many are from mainland China. This minisymposium should serve as a good forum for researchers to exchange ideas and to promote this active and important research direction.

We have a diversified list of speakers from 5 countries and regions (Mainland China, France, Netherlands, Taiwan, and USA), and from both universities and research labs. Most of the speakers are young researchers. 5 out of the 10 speakers are women.
