Claus Goetz

Dr. Claus Goetz is a Researcher in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Hamburg's Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences, working in the Applied Mathematics group on Numerical Approximation. His research focuses on developing high-accuracy numerical methods for partial differential equations.

Key areas include hyperbolic equation solvers using ADER approaches, HLL-type Riemann solvers for conservation laws, and reducing numerical artifacts in geophysical fluid dynamics models. Applications span computational physics, ocean modeling, and spacetime geometry.

Recent publications address generalized Riemann problems, spurious mixing in ocean simulations, and mathematical foundations of classical mechanics. His work combines theoretical numerical analysis with practical implementation for scientific computing.
