Scientifically orientated education in mathematical modelling and computer science in view of a complex interdisciplinary and networked field of work and research, modelling and simulation.
Students will have experience in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) by establishing a problem specific model on the basis of a mathematical formulation, an applicable solution technique, design of efficient data structures and software implementation.
Numerical and analytical solution of partial differential equations, series expansions, integral representations, finite difference methods, description of heat flow, diffusion, wave propagation and elastostatic problems.
The topics are discussed theoretically and then implemented.
Convergence, stability and error analysis of finite difference methods (FDM). Modelling of steady and unsteady heat conduction problems, wave propagation and vibrations and problems from linear thermo-elasticity in 2D and 3D. After considering the mathematical basis, the students will work on individual projects passing all levels of work (engineering model, mathematical model, numerical model, computer model, simulation, evaluation).
The solution methods will be implemented by help of MAPLE or MATLAB. |
