In this lecture we are concerned with the modelling and computation of flow of liquid and gas. Examples are the Navier–Stokes equations (for incompressible viscous flows) and the Euler equations (for incompressible inviscid flows). Moreover we consider the Stokes equation (for dominant viscous effects), the compressible Navier–Stokes equations and equations for multiphase flows.

The numerical techniques we consider are the finite element method, the finite volume method and the discontinuous Galerkin method.

Examination

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