Assignment to Modules

Further Information

Courses are together with exams the building blocks for modules. Please keep in mind that information on the contents, learning outcomes and, especially examination conditions are given on the module level only – see section "Assignment to Modules" above.

additional remarks The module introduces the steps of the scientific computing simulation pipeline on selected simulation scenarios, focusing especially on aspects of modelling and discretization: - classification of mathematical models (discrete/continuous, deterministic/stochastic, etc.); - discrete models (e.g. Markov chain models) - modeling with ordinary differential equations for the example of population growth; - numerical solution of systems of ordinary differential equations; - modeling with partial differential equations (PDE) for the example of fluid dynamics; - numerical discretization methods for partial differential equations (finite elements, time stepping, grids and adaptivity); - limitations and errors encountered in models and discretized models - adequacy and asymptotic behavior of models (stability, consistency, accuracy, and convergence of numerical methods) An outlook will be given on the impact that further steps of the simulation pipeline can have on the selection of modeling and discretization techniques, such as: - efficient sequential and parallel implementation (architectures, parallel programming, load distribution, domain decomposition, parallel numerical methods); - visualization or results - embedding of simulations in larger simulation environments (coupled models, workflows for parameter studies and uncertainty quantification) Examples are primarily selected from societally and economically relevant simulation scenarios, such as: - Discrete and continuous population models (incl. spreading of diseases, traffic simulation, use of population-type models in economy) - Simulation of hazards (e.g. shallow water models for tsunami simulation) - Computational fluid dynamics (towards weather and climate simulation)
