    Notes: When solving non-linear algebraic equations resulting from a typical finite element discretization it is quite common that the popular Newton-Raphson iteration fails to converge or requires an excessive number of iterations. To solve this problem, line searches have been proposed in conjunction with load control and quadratic arc-length control, which has proved to be highly successful. In the paper we first review a number of the most popular arc-length controls. Then we highlight the severe drawbacks associated with the coupling of the cylindrical arc-length control and line searches. Next, various other forms of arc-length controls are scrutinized in the light of this coupling. It is shown that for some of the arc-length controls such a combination is extremely simple and straightforward, yet at the same time efficient and effective. For the rest the same complications incurred for the cylindrical arc-length method remain.

    Notes: The present paper is a sequel to a previous one by the same authors in which a family of up to fourth-order fully discrete (FD) upwind numerical schemes was presented. In this paper we extend those high-order FD schemes to solutions with discontinuities, e.g. shocks. A rigorous anlaysis of the total variation diminishing (TVD) constraint for the high-order FD schemes is carried out. For non-linear systems the TVD constraint is, as usual, applied empirically. These schemes are validated by solving a test problem for the time-dependent shallow water equations.

    Notes: In the structural design of civil aircraft the critical loads are often those encountered in a gust or atmospheric turbulence. The traditional ‘indicial’ solution is restricted to a simple plate. In this paper a finite element formulation is proposed for an aerofoil or arbitrary shape entering a uniform sharp-edged or sinusoidal gust. The thin rotational gust front and wake in an irrotational flow field are successfully modelled by a novel superposition technique. The finite element solutions are compared with the Kussner function and results by other numerical methods. The agreement is good.

    Notes: The present paper is a sequel to two previous papers in which rigorous, up to fourth-order, fully discrete (FD) upwind TVD schemes have been presented. In this paper we discuss in detail the extension of these schemes to solutions of non-linear hyperbolic systems. The performance of the schemes is assessed by solving test problems for the time-dependent Euler equations of gas dynamics in one and two space dimensions. We use exact solutions and experimental data to validate the results.
