Institut für Angewandte Mathematik
Lecture in the Summer Term 2024
Numerics and simulation/ Elective subject mathematics (FEM und Anwendungen)
Content
We will deal with applications(and some analysis of finite element methods for solving practical problems in natural science and engineering:
  • time-dependent partial differential equations (heat equation, wave equation)
  • continuum mechanics
  • fluid mechanics/Stokes equation
  • coupled problems and domain decomposition
Expected prior knowledge
analysis and computational methods of partial differential equations, in particular finite element methods
Scheduled dates
  • on Mondays 10:15-11:45 in seminar room STEG006
  • on Wednesday 10:15-11:45 in seminar room STEG006 (alternately with the Practical)
  • Scheduled dates: TUG Online
  • first lecture: March 4, 2024
Practical
  • Exam method and evaluation of the exercise course:
    • There will some exercise sheets with calculation and coding examples.
    • The students have to mark (votieren) the examples they were able to solve at the beginning of each class. The students can be asked to present any example marked as solved on the blackboard. Due to new study directives the language of presentation is English.
    • The percentage of marked examples will account for 60 % of the total number of points.
    • The particpants have to present at least 6 calculation examples succesfully. The quality of the presentations will account for 40 % of the total number of points.
    • After voting or submission for two exam dates the course will be assessed negatively if applicable.
  • on Wednesdays 10:15-11:45 in seminar room STEG006 (alternately with the lecture)
  • Scheduled dates: TUG Online
  • first practical: March 13, 2024
  • April 10, 2024: Exercise sheet 1
  • April 24, 2024: Exercise sheet 2
