Mathematische Kontinuumsmechanik

What it is about

You learn the fundamental conservation laws of continuum mechanics (mass, momentum, energy) as well as the mathematical methods with which these laws are formulated and applied. After the module you can apply these methods to specific models such as fluid dynamics, chemical/biological reactions, self-gravitation, or liquid crystals, and understand elasticity theory as well as distributions.

What you will be able to do

Mathematically formulate conservation laws (mass, momentum, energy)
Application of distributions in continuum mechanics
Understand the fundamentals of elasticity theory
Assess the objectivity of differential and constitutive equations
Apply the entropy principle and the free energy inequality
Get to know models such as Navier–Stokes, chemical/biological reactions, self-gravitation, liquid crystals

What the module consists of
