Computational Mechanics

Students who complete this course will be able to:

• understand the most common techniques for the numerical solution of partial differential problems (such as finite differences and finite volumes),
• evaluate and comment on the stability and convergence of the numerical methods,
• and solve numerically diffusion, convection and transport problems in multiple dimensions.

Target Students: Students interested in solving partial differential equations numerically and in understating possibilities and limitations of numerical techniques. Students should have a general knowledge of partial differential equations.
