Astraios Courses

Advanced environmental modelling and applications  

Description

The course deals with the real-world applications of advanced numerical methods for environmental fluid mechanics. In the first part, the focus is on methods for hyperbolic PDE (hydraulics on mobile bed) and nonlinear parabolic equations (heat equation; Richards equation for the flow in porous media), finite element methods for linear elliptic equations (with applications to solid and fluid mechanics), and on the parallelization necessary for the application to complex problems. In the second part, the numerical methods are implemented for complex transport processes, with real-world applications to: turbulence modelling; stratified flows; jets and plumes; air and water quality models. The course contains practical hands-on sessions in the computer laboratory.
