Numerical methods for the environment  

Description

The course introduces the students to the analysis, implementation and application of numerical methods for the solution of differential equations, ordinary ones (ODE) and partial differential equations (PDE) with applications to mechanics. Different approaches are presented (finite difference methods, finite volume methods, semi-implicit methods), with applications to hyperbolic equations (shallow water equations) linear parabolic (heat equation) and elliptic (Poisson) equations, and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. An important part of the course is dedicated to a computer laboratory in which all methods are implemented in a computer program; some numerical methods will be subsequently used in the course Hydrodynamics.
