Wilhelm Heinrichs

Wilhelm Heinrichs is a Professor at the Institute of Engineering Mathematics, University of Duisburg-Essen. He specializes in spectral methods for solving partial differential equations, particularly for fluid dynamics and elliptic problems.

Research Focus:
Develops stabilized spectral techniques for singular perturbation problems, least-squares collocation methods for incompressible flows, and high-order splitting schemes for Navier-Stokes equations.

Methodological Contributions:
Pioneered triangular spectral collocation and unit disc formulations, with emphasis on conservation properties in fluid simulations.
