Finite Element Method
The course will teach you modern methods of computation, especially the finite element method to solve differential equations, ability to analyse the efficiency/accuracy of computations, mathematical knowledge of basic partial differential equations in applications for efficient/reliable computer calculations.
The course covers FEM-formulation of linear and non-linear partial differential equations. Element typesand their implementation. Grid generation. Adaption. Error control. Efficient solution algorithms (e.g. by amultigrid method).
Applications to stationary and transient diffusion processes, elasticity, convection-diffusion, Navier-Stokesequation, quantum mechanics etc.
This course is given jointly with KTH, and you can find more information about the schedule, course literature etc. on KTH's pages - see links below.
