Today modeling is an indispensable tool in Materials Science and Engineering. As a researcher within the field is vital to have a good understanding of the different approaches that are available. Even if the researcher focuses on one or a few of the areas mentioned, a broad picture will undoubtedly help in collaborative efforts where many different areas of modeling are included. Multidisciplinary projects are expected to increase in importance the coming years. This course gives a broad overview of some of the possibilities and tools that can be used. Ranging from physical modeling of fluid behavior, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Monte Carlo Modeling, Thermodynamics Modeling and well as Density Functional Theory and Molecular Modeling. The target audience for the course is PhD students and researchers within the materials field, that seek to enhance their knowledge in the modeling capabilities and therefore increase their capacity to formulate research based on several types of modeling from processes, properties and structures.

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
