Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

In the course students with special interest in scientific computing work with a task within a group of say 2-4 persons. The contents is designed for the whole group  and the work is partitioned between the group members so that everybody gets insight into and is able to present the whole project. The course is given if sufficient teacher resources are available for the supervision of the project

Some introductory lectures are given in the beginning of the course.

Intended learning outcomes

This course gives an insight into some current research area, e.g. the finite element method with applications in a.o. wave propagation, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics and turbulence. The course is designed as a group project based on the prerequisites of the students
and those teachers who can supervise the project.

After the course the students should have

         * read the theory relevant for the
           project from e.g. text books and
           scientific reports,
         * performed numerical experiments for
           some numerical method obtained e.g.
           by coupling existing components
           from an advanced scientific
           computing program,
         * summarized the results in an oral
           and written examination.
