Remarks
(specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.): |
Goals:
The course is aimed at a critical attitude towards
the reliability of numerical simulations; simple problems and analysis techniques are
used. |
Computer
use:
Practical exercises with simple examples in order
to check convergence, stability, choice of step-length. |
Laboratory
project(s):
Practical work with a shareware version of a
commercial code. |
Design
content:
The design of a correct discretization is part of
the practical work. |
Percentage
of design: 25 % |
