Introductionary course

There will be a short course in 'Basics in Finite Elements' and 'Solving Linear Equations' by Dr. Anzt and me. It is a course in the new KIT-Centre MATHSEE and is designed for engineers. This course will replace the dates in the first week and is recommended as an introduction.

Dates: Wed/Thu 24./25.4.2019, 14:00-17:15.

Lecture:	Thursday 11:30-13:00	SR 3.061	Begin: 25.4.2019, End: 25.7.2019
Problem class:	Friday 11:30-13:00 (every 2nd week)	SR 3.061	Begin: 3.5.2019, End: 26.7.2019

Lecturers
Lecturer	Prof. Dr. Willy Dörfler

Starting from basics we develop the continuum mechanical model that lead to the fundamental equations for incompressible and compressible flows. We will study in more detail potential flows, Stokes flows and (non-turbulent) Navier–Stokes flows.
The numerical techniques we consider are the finite element method, the finite volume method and the discontinuous Galerkin method.
As special applications we will consider particulate and electrokinetic flows as one will find for example in battery models.

Examination

In the end of the lecture there will be an oral examination (about 20 min), 4 ECTS.
