Smadar Karni

Smadar Karni is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan's College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. Her office is located in 4834 East Hall, Ann Arbor, and she has taught courses including Numerical Methods for ODE's and PDE's (Math 572) and Linear Spaces and Matrix Theory (Math 419) as recently as 2021.

Her research focuses on Numerical Methods for Differential Equations, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Numerical Analysis, and Hyperbolic conservation laws. She develops advanced numerical schemes for shallow water systems in channels and two-layer configurations, multifluid dynamics, and radiative shocks. Her methodologies emphasize finite volume techniques, central schemes, and relaxation approaches to resolve complex fluid phenomena like shock waves and irregular geometries.

Analysis of her publications (2005-2011) reveals consistent innovation in hyperbolic conservation law solvers, particularly for environmental and astrophysical applications. She frequently collaborates with researchers like R. Abgrall and G. Hernandez to address challenges in area variation, porous media flows, and radiative hydrodynamics, often enhancing stability and accuracy through hybrid algorithmic designs.
