Project-oriented Software Lab (Summer Semester 2013)

Course Description

Turbulente Strömung

Topics

The main task of this software lab is to engage deeply with applications related (but not limited) to fluid mechanics. Thus, the modeling, the numerical simulation with Finite Element (FE) software and the presentation and interpretation of the results have to be accomplished. The lab is open to problems, suggested by the students, which are modeled with partial differential equations.

Outcomes

After successfully completing this software training, students have made basic experience with numerical simulation and validation of results.

Prerequisites

This course is open to students from all disciplines. For further information on the prerequisites, please do not hesitate to contact us.


Announcements

  • Presentations of the second project will again take place in the Röser-Haus, seminar room 481 (4th floor) on Friday, July 12, 2013, only.

Roadmap

At the beginning of the course an introduction to the Finite Element Method and the software used is given. Participants then start working in groups on an introductory problem, which should be finished within four weeks. Subsequently, they work for six weeks on a more advanced one. For each problem a short presentation is expected to be held. For the second project a scientific report has to be handed in.

Examination

A Certificate of Participation (“Praktikumsschein“) can be acquired for this course. A successful candidate is required to

  • register for the course,
  • attend all mandatory sessions,
  • successfully present her first project,
  • successfully present her second project and finally
  • hand in a written scientific report (approx. 12 pages) of her second project.

If your degree programme requires a different kind of certificate, e.g. written or oral examination, please do no hesitate to contact us.
