In the end of this 20 (5*4h) hours training session, students will be able to apply their knowledge in programming and in numerical analysis to numerically solve a simple physical problem.
Learning objectives
- Translate a simple engineering problem to a numerical problem
- Build a resolution algorithm
- Solve this problem numerically by using a programming language
- Analyze the obtained results and be able of validating them
- Transcribe their work in form of relevant and structured report
Learning context
This project is the illustration of the notions presented in the PDE numerical solving courses of common-core syllabus of 2nd year (UE2).
Course materials
None
Prerequisites
PDE numerical solving and programming language courses
Course content
