NUMERICAL METHODS FOR PDES IN COMPUTER ALGEBRA ENVIRONMENT V.G.Ganzha and E.V.Vorozhtsov ganzha@hrz.uni-kassel.de Abstract The complexity of difference schemes approximating the PDEs of fluid dynamics often makes it impossible to study their important properties like the stability and approximation by the analytical methods. The combined use of the symbolic computation (computer algebra(CA)) and the numerical analysis proves to be an efficient tool for the solution of these problems. On the other hand, many computational fluid dynamicists appear to be unaware of the recent developments in the field of powerful computer algebra systems like Mathematica, Maple, Axiom, etc., and of the capabilities of these systems. The main task of the proposed session is to make the computational fluid dynamicists acquainted with the works in which CA is used both for the stability and for the approximation study of numerical schemes for solving the fluid dynamics equations, including the important case of schemes on curvilinear spatial grids.
