Numerical Simulation Methods

This lecture provides a practice-oriented introduction in numerical and computational methods for simulating continuum mechanical problems, like they occure typically in engineering applications. The application of these methods gain in importance in industrial practice. The lecture imparts knowledge about the fundamentals in modelling, discretizing schemes and solving algorithms, just as the for practical usage important questions of accuracy, costs and efficiency. The important industrial domains of fluid and structural mechanics are handled as well as heat transfer problems.
