Equiping with wide-spreading cloud computing resources and ever-increasing computing power, scientists and engineers are getting used to take a computational approach to solve their facing problems. Unfortunately, this approach to a new subject often faces a dilemma, where the governing equations and constitutive relations involved are esoteric and difficult to unravel. It is especially true for a problem involving multiple physics processes. This course (Partial Differential Equations and Multihysics Coupling Simulations 偏微分方程與多重物理耦合模擬) comes to provide a training by introducing the core knowledge and some hand-on experiences to students and preparing them with an ability to face this dilemma.
After completion of the course, the students will be able to:
• grasp the appropriate governing equations for a problem
• discover relevant constitutive relations for the simulation;
• successfully perform simulations on some classic examples of multiphysics coupling systems.
Lecture notes will be posted in time whenever possible.
