Courses
Discretization methods in fluids
This course provides an introduction to the approximation methods used for numerical simulation in fluid mechanics.
The fundamental concepts are presented in the context of the finite differences method and then extended to the finite and spectral element method.
Finite element method
In this course, the student gets acquainted with the theoretical aspects of the finite element method, the most commonly used computational technique for solving elliptic problems. He learns to apply the finite element method to simple test cases and to more complex problems faced in practice
Dynamic finite element analysis of structures
The course focuses on the dynamic analysis of 3D structures using the finite element method in the context of linear elasticity. Students will gain proficiency in numerical techniques widely employed in static and dynamic structural analysis, and apply these methods to address real-world problems.
