What it is about

You will learn particle-based simulation methods for flow problems – from atomistic methods through kinetic models to macroscopic particle solvers. In the end you will understand the fundamentals of the respective models, their algorithms, and know when which method is applicable.

What you will be able to do

Understand the fundamentals of particle-based simulation methods
Master important discrete algorithms at micro-/meso-/macro-levels
Evaluate suitability and applicability of the methods
Recognize the concrete application of a suitable particle method for a flow problem

What the module consists of

VorlesungDelivery of theoretical foundations and demonstration of code examples
Übungen / Praktika (3 Termine)Testing and modifying teaching codes for MD, LBM and SPH; deepening tasks possible

Teaching method

Präsentationen / FrontalunterrichtExplanation of the theoretical basis
Tablet-PCs zur Herleitung und IllustrationVisualization of complex concepts

Assessment

Written examOral examPractical tasks (pass/fail)

There are two possible forms of assessment, depending on the number of participants: a written exam (60 minutes, no calculator required) or alternatively an oral examination (20 minutes per student). Facts and contextual knowledge (several short questions) as well as in-depth knowledge of two selected particle methods (longer questions) will be assessed. Additionally, tasks submitted during the lecture (pass/fail) can contribute to the module grade.
